.DISCUSSION...A small medium period NW (310-320 degree) swell will
continue to slowly decline today. The next moderate, medium to long
period NNW (320-340 degree) swell will arrive late Tuesday, peak
Wednesday near High Surf Advisory thresholds before gradually
declining through the end of the week. Another overlapping small,
medium period NNE (010-020 degree) swell is expected Thursday into
Friday. Then another small, long period NW (320-330 degree) swell
arrives Friday, holding through the weekend.
Surf along E facing shores will decline today due to the weakening of
the trade winds. As trade winds increase upstream of the islands
Tuesday through Thursday, and local winds increase, expect moderate
and choppy surf along E shores. For S shores, periods of tiny background
south swell energy will linger.

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.
