Swell Summary
Outlook through Monday April 02: The current northeast swell will peak tonight and begin declining Tuesday through Thursday. A small short period northwest swell will persist through at least Thursday. Small south and southwest swells are also expected to continue through the next several days. Long term guidance suggests a moderate northwest swell producing near advisory level surf arriving Friday night and peaking 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.
