DISCUSSION
A SMALL, MEDIUM-PERIOD NORTH NORTHWEST (320-330 DEGREE) SWELL WILL
CONTINUE TO DECLINE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT, WITH SURF ALONG NORTH-
FACING SHORES FOLLOWING SUIT. A MEDIUM-PERIOD NORTH NORTHWEST
REINFORCEMENT MAY PROVIDE ANOTHER SMALL BUMP IN SURF ALONG NORTH-
FACING SHORES BY EARLY MORNING ON MONDAY, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
SMALL REINFORCING SWELL ON TUESDAY. SURF ALONG WEST-FACING SHORES
WILL REMAIN MOSTLY STEADY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND AS THE
NORTHWEST SWELL INFLUENCE GRADUALLY DECLINES, BUT A NEW, LONG-
PERIOD SOUTH SOUTHWEST SWELL FILLS IN.
A MIX OF SMALL, MEDIUM- TO LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELLS WILL MAINTAIN
SMALL SURF ALONG SOUTH-FACING SHORES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE
LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SOUTHWEST SWELL DESCRIBED ABOVE WILL INCREASE SURF
ALONG SOUTH-FACING SHORES THROUGH SUNDAY. ADDITIONAL SMALL, MEDIUM TO
LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELL REINFORCEMENTS WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY THROUGH MID-
WEEK. MODERATE TO FRESH TRADES WILL MAINTAIN ROUGH AND CHOPPY SURF
ALONG EAST-FACING SHORES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
