Swell Summary
Outlook through Wednesday March 28: The current large northeast swell will slowly decrease through Friday. A small to medium sized NW swell is expected on Monday for north and west facing shores. A small southwest swell is expected along south facing shores during 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.
