The swell is expected to peak Wednesday afternoon/evening at double overhead or more at the best exposures. The swell is expected to slowly fade Thursday and Friday.

Minimal southerly swells will trickle in over the next few days. The next swell is expected to build in Thursday and peak Friday.

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.
