.DISCUSSION...Long period energy out of the S to SW fills in during the
latter half of the week supporting building surf for S shores. Surf is
initially small through Wednesday but will trend upward toward the
High Surf Advisory threshold by this weekend. Surf along E shores will
modestly increase in response to building trades and a brief medium
period E swell emanating from former TC Norbert. N shores stay flat to
tiny.

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
