.DISCUSSION...
Overlapping NW to NNW swells the rest of this week will keep surf
heights boosted along exposed N and W facing shores. A pair of small
to moderate, long period NNW (310-340 degree) swells will arrive
today, peaking Wednesday near or above High Surf Advisory (HSA)
levels, before gradually declining Wednesday night through the end of
the week. Another overlapping small, short to medium period N
(350-010 degree) swell arrives from Thursday into Friday. Then another
moderate, long period NW (310-330 degree) swell arrives Friday,
peaking near HSA thresholds over the weekend.
Surf along E facing shores will continue to decline this morning, but
will be on the increase Wednesday through Thursday, due to a
strengthening high to the north. This will bring rough and choppy surf
along E shores which could reach near HSA levels. For S shores,
periods of tiny background south swell energy will continue to move
through keeping surf from going flat.

Product Legend:
Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
Water (MLLW) datum in feet.
Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a
coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in
the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours
apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone,
with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are
urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a
lifeguard.
