Swell Summary
Outlook through Tuesday June 19: Small background south swells will continue through tomorrow. Another small long period south swell will give a bump to south shore surf on Thursday, with a slightly larger south swell arriving Friday night and lingering into the weekend. This late week/weekend swell could possibly approach High Surf Advisory levels. Small northwest swells will continue through Thursday. A pair of moderate northwest and west- northwest swells will build Thursday night and Friday, then linger through the weekend. Typical short period trade wind swell can be expected along east facing shores through Wednesday, before trending downward late week through the weekend as the trades ease. East Pacific tropical cyclones will also send a series of small longer period east swells toward the islands beginning tonight and continuing through the weekend.
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.
