.DISCUSSION...
A small, long period, south swell has been slowly filling in today
and will peak later tonight into Thursday providing a slight boost in
surf along south facing shores through the weeks end and slowly fade
out during the weekend. A larger south swell is possible next week
from a fetch originating near New Zealand and could reach advisory
levels (10 feet), stay tuned.

Rough and choppy conditions along east facing shores will pick up
a notch or two over the weekend and persist into early next week.
Surf will remain nearly flat along north facing shores through the
forecast period.

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.
