Screen Shot 2016-05-18 at 8.30.32 PMSmall southerly swell is still showing. A southwest is holding and topping out through Friday. We may get a fun swell for next week. Will keep an eye on it.

Storm activity isn’t expected and therefore there are no notable swells on the horizon out of the NPAC.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
