DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT NORTH-NORTHEAST SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY EASE
ALONG WITH DIMINISHING TRADE WINDS, WHICH WILL ALLOW SURF ALONG NORTH-
AND EAST-FACING SHORES TO TREND DOWN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SURF ALONG
NORTH- AND WEST-FACING SHORES WILL TREND UP BEGINNING SATURDAY AS A
FRESH WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL ARRIVES. THIS SWELL WILL PEAK EARLY NEXT
WEEK BEFORE GRADUALLY LOWERING INTO MIDWEEK. SURF ALONG SOUTH-FACING
SHORES WILL REMAIN NEAR THE SEASONAL AVERAGE INTO MARCH, BUT COULD
TREND UP IN THE LONG RANGE, POSSIBLY BY THE SECOND WEEK OF MARCH.
