.DISCUSSION...
A short-period south-southeast swell will continue to fill in
today, slowing the decline of surf heights through Friday. Another
small increase is expected heading into the weekend. Surf along east
facing shores will continue to remain rough and choppy with a slight
boost in surf heights expected through mid week as the trades
strengthen and again late this week into the weekend as a short-period
northeast swell fills in. Surf along north facing shores will
continue to decline through Wednesday and remain nearly flat through
the weekend.

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.
