.DISCUSSION...
A mix of a small, medium period northwest swell and a small, short
period north northeast swell will maintain small surf for north
facing shores through Saturday. Another small medium period northwest
swell will fill in late Saturday followed by a moderate medium to
long period northwest swell that is expected to fill in Sunday and
peak on Monday near High Surf Advisory criteria. Recent model guidance
has exhibited a low bias, compared with observed nearshore buoy
readings running higher than forecast guidance. As a result, surf
heights may come in larger then currently indicated by the model
output.
Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the
weekend with a series of small medium to long period south and
southwest swells. East facing shores will remain tiny to small
through Friday except for select shorelines exposed to the
current small north northeast swell. A slight uptick is expected this
weekend as easterly trade winds return. In addition, a small,
medium to long period easterly swell from Tropical Cyclone
Priscilla in the East Pacific is forecast to arrive late Saturday
into Sunday.

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.
