DISCUSSION
A MODERATE, MEDIUM PERIOD NORTH-NORTHWEST SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO
TREND DOWN TODAY, THEN SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHEAST FRIDAY. A
MODERATE REINFORCING NORTH-NORTHEAST SWELL IS EXPECTED SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY, FOLLOWED BY A POTENTIALLY LARGER PULSE OF NORTH-NOEAST SWELL
EARLY NEXT WEEK THAT COULD PRODUCE SURF NEAR THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY
LEVEL. A SMALL, OVERLAPPING WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE LATE SATURDAY AND HOLD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SOUTH SHORES WILL SEE CONTINUED SURF JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AS
A LONG PERIOD SOUTH SWELL HOLDS ON TODAY. THE SWELL WILL DIMINISH
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY, FOLLOWED BY A SMALL SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SWELL THIS
WEEKEND. ASIDE FROM AREAS EXPOSED TO WRAPPING NORTH SWELL, SURF ALONG
EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW AVERAGE. AS NORTHEAST TRADE
WINDS DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK, ROUGH SURF WILL RETURN TO EAST FACING
SHORES.
