surf along south facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet through sunday.

surf along north facing shores will be 2 feet or less through sunday.

surf along east facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through sunday.

surf along west facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through sunday.

outlook through saturday july 11:
expect a mix of small background swells from the southeast and south
through next week. a slightly larger long period south swell arriving
late wednesday could produce surf near the summer average along south
facing shores during the second half of next week. the weak trades 
will keep small surf along east facing shores into early next week. as
the trade winds strengthen, expect choppy surf to increase along east
facing shores from late tuesday through the end of next week. surf 
along north facing shores will remain nearly flat, except for episodes
of tiny surf due to easterly trade wind wrap and small pulses of 
northwest swell energy.

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.
