.DISCUSSION...
Northeast swell that peaked yesterday will be on the decline
through Monday. Another small north swell that peaked earlier
this morning will reinforce north swell and maintain elevated
north-facing shore surf today. Background south southwest swell
will keep south-facing shore surf small through the remainder of
the week. East-facing shore surf will stay slightly elevated today
due to the fading northeast swell and some lingering north wrap.
Eastern surf will fall off a touch today with the lowering swell
but wind wave chop will pick back up at mid week in response to
strengthened trades.

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.
