.DISCUSSION...
A mix of a small, medium period northwest swell and a small, short
period north northeast swell will maintain small surf for north
facing shores through Saturday. Another small medium period
northwest swell will fill in late Saturday followed by a moderate
to possibly large medium to long period northwest swell that is
expected to fill in Sunday and peak on Monday near or above High
Surf Advisory criteria. Recent model guidance has exhibited a low
bias, compared with observed nearshore buoy readings running
higher than forecast guidance. As a result, surf heights may come
in larger then currently indicated by the model output.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the
weekend with a series of small medium to long period south and
southwest swells. East facing shores will remain tiny to small
through Friday except for select shorelines exposed to the
current small north northeast swell. A slight uptick is expected this
weekend as easterly trade winds return. In addition, a small,
medium to long period easterly swell from Tropical Cyclone
Priscilla in the East Pacific is forecast to arrive late Saturday
into Sunday.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low

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.
