.DISCUSSION...
A small, long period south swell continues to slowly fill in with
yet another reinforcing pulse building into the region later
today. South swell energy will peak on Friday with surf heights
along south facing shores near the summer averages before
declining over the weekend. A smaller portion of this long period
south swell energy will wrap around into west facing shores. Surf
heights will return to background levels early next week along
south facing shores.
A storm force low developing near Kamchatka over the next few
days will generate some longer period energy out of the northwest
around September 2nd.
Small short-period surf along east facing shores will decrease on
Thursday as winds locally and upstream ease through the weekend
into early next week.

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.
