DISCUSSION
A MODERATE, MEDIUM PERIOD NORTH SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO TREND DOWN
TODAY, WITH MODERATE SURF ALONG NORTH FACING SHORES BECOMING SMALL BY
THIS AFTERNOON. THE SWELL CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY DECLINE ON FRIDAY AS
IT SHIFTS OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHEAST, BUT EXPERIENCES A SMALL REINFORCING
PULSE OUT OF THE NORTH ON SATURDAY. A NEW SMALL TO MODERATE LONG
PERIOD WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE SATURDAY AND
HOLD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, WHICH WILL KEEP AT LEAST SMALL SURF
ALONG WEST FACING SHORES.
SOUTH SHORES WILL SEE CONTINUED MODERATE SURF JUST BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA AS A LONG PERIOD SOUTH SWELL HOLDS ON TODAY BEFORE
DIMINISHING TONIGHT. THE NEXT SMALL, LONG PERIOD SOUTH SWELL WILL
FILL IN SATURDAY AND PEAK SUNDAY, PROVIDING A SMALL BOOST IN SURF
ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES BEFORE FADING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SURF
ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW AVERAGE DUE TO THE
LACK OF TRADES LOCALLY AND UPSTREAM THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE EXCEPTION
WILL BE FOR EAST FACING SHORES EXPOSED TO NORTH-NORTHEAST SWELLS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. CHOPPY SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES LOOKS TO TREND UP
NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASING EAST TO NORTHEASTERLY WINDS.
