.DISCUSSION...A reinforcing moderate, long period northwest swell
energy will fill in early this morning, maintaining near to above
average surf along north and west facing shores through Friday. A
brief moderate, long period NNW swell will move through Friday, but
should taper off Saturday keeping surf elevated. Surf along north and
west facing shores will trend down through the weekend. A hurricane
force low is expected to develop east of Japan later today and could
bring another round of elevated surf along north and west facing
shores early next week.
A series of small, medium to long period south to southwest
swells will continue to filter into the area through the rest of
the week and into the weekend, keeping south-facing shores from
going flat. East-facing shores surf will gradually pick up today
into the weekend as trades strengthen and persist.
