February 03, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Friday February 09: A new northwest swell building tonight will produce warning level surf through at least Saturday night, before lowering to advisory level through the rest of the weekend. The swell will gradually subside through Thursday. The persistent east swell will continue to fade.
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.
