.DISCUSSION...
A north-northwest swell and a smaller overlapping west-northwest
swell will slowly decline through Monday and fade on Tuesday. A
very small northwest swell may arrive Thursday, followed by a
moderate north-northwest swell next weekend.
The current south swell will continue a slow decline over the next
day or so. South shore surf will drop below seasonal average
Monday and will remain relatively small through much of the week.
A moderate south-southwest swell is expected next weekend.
Rough trade wind swell will produce east shore surf just above
seasonal average through Tuesday, then decline later in the week
as trade winds decrease.

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
