outlook through tuesday october 29:
after small surf today, a series of northwest swells is set to start
coming in over the coming days with each bump being a little bit
larger. a small bump first rolls in on wednesday followed by a
moderate northwest swell on friday. then, on saturday night, a large
northwest swell arrives, bringing advisory level surf to the north and
west facing shores between sunday and tuesday. this swell will peak  
monday before trending down slowly.

locally strong trade winds will maintain mainly moderate level surf 
along east facing shores through wednesday, followed by slightly
smaller surf during the second half of the week as the trades become 
lighter. a small background swell will maintain small surf for the 
south facing shores through the rest of the period.

surf heights are forecast heights of the face, or front, of waves. the
surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average
height of the one third largest waves, at the locations of the largest
breakers. some waves may be more than twice as high as the
significant wave height. expect to encounter rip currents in or near
any surf zone.
