.DISCUSSION...
The ongoing 2 to 3 foot, medium period south southwest swell has held
today and generated waist to near head high surf within higher sets.
A series of very similar small, medium period south swells will pass
around the islands through the week. These swells will help maintain
seasonal south-facing shore surf heights.
Expect east-facing shore chop to decline tonight into Monday morning
as trades drop off a touch. Fresh trades will once again introduce
elevated choppy conditions to eastern exposures from Monday afternoon
through the rest of the week.

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.
