.HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY... .BUOY OBSERVATIONS LAST EVENING WERE SHOWING SOME PERIODS OF 22 SECONDS...FORERUNNERS OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SWELL. HOWEVER AT THIS TIME THE LOCAL SWELL GENERATED BY THE FRESH TO STRONG NORTHWEST BREEZES OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS IS STILL THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO THE COMBINED SEA HEIGHTS. THOUGH THE START TIME OF THIS ADVISORY MAY BE PREMATURE...STILL EXPECTING SWELLS GENERATED BY HURRICANE ILEANA TO ARRIVE TODAY...BUT THE DIRECTION OF 165 DEGREES INDICATES MOST OF THESE WILL BYPASS SAN DIEGO COUNTY BEACHES. THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SWELL PERIOD SHOULD DECREASE TO 20 SECONDS AND HEIGHTS BUILD A COUPLE OF FEET BY THE TIME OF THIS AFTERNOONS LOW TIDE...SO SHOULD BE MEETING HIGH SURF CRITERIA BY THEN...ALTHOUGH STILL WILL HAVE SOME LONG LULLS BETWEEN THE LARGER SETS. FOR SATURDAY LOOKING FOR SEVERAL FEET INCREASE IN HEIGHTS AND MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE OF THE LARGER SET WAVES. FOR SUNDAY SLIGHT DECREASE IN HEIGHTS BUT MORE FREQUENT SETS. ON MONDAY EXPECT A GREATER DOWNWARD TREND IN HEIGHTS WITH INCREASING INTERVAL BETWEEN SETS.
