.DISCUSSION...
Current northwest (300-320 degree) swell will be followed by a larger
northwest (310-325 degree) swell filling in tonight and peaking
during the day Wednesday. Latest buoy readings from buoy 51001 and
51101 are starting to show some new energy in the 16 to 17 second
energy bands, but seem to be running below guidance so far. Thus,
we have held off on issuing a High Surf Advisory for north and
west facing shores for now. We will continue to monitor the latest
buoy readings and we are still expecting surf near the High Surf
Advisory threshold on Wednesday. As this northwest swell slowly
declines Wednesday night, a reinforcing swell from the north-
northwest is expected on Thursday. These swells will slowly
decline into the weekend. Another moderate, long period northwest
swell (320 degree) should gradually fill in on Sunday and could
produce surf near the advisory threshold by Sunday evening.
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
a minor south-southwest pulse expected Wednesday afternoon into
Thursday.

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
