Swell Summary

Outlook through Friday June 22: Long-period south swell will continue to generate elevated surf along south facing shores through Saturday before gradually diminishing Sunday and Monday. Long-period west-northwest swell will produce elevated surf along north and west facing shores through the weekend, and then diminish Monday and Tuesday. Short-period trade wind swell will remain small through the middle of next week. A small long-period east swell associated with former eastern Pacific hurricanes may arrive over the weekend. Surf is expected to remain below advisory levels along all shores through 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.
