.DISCUSSION...
The first of two long to medium period overlapping northwest (310-320
degree) swells will continue to fill in this morning, building surf
heights along north and west facing shores to near average.
Forerunners of the second, slightly bigger swell will arrive tonight
and peak Wednesday. Surf heights along north and west facing shores
could reach marginal High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels Wednesday and
hold into Thursday before slowly subsiding into the weekend. A
moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) may gradually fill
in over the weekend keeping surf from going flat.
Small, choppy east shore surf will become minimal over the next few
days as trades near and upstream become disrupted by approaching
fronts. Expect minimal background surf for south facing shores, with
only a minor south- southwest pulse expected Wednesday afternoon into
Thursday, keeping south shore surf heights just above flat levels.

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.
