Swell Summary
Outlook through Saturday April 07: The current west-northwest swell will gradually lower through Monday. A small to moderate west-northwest swell will be possible by midweek. Choppy, short period small surf will be possible Tuesday through midweek along south facing shores due to increasing southerly winds.
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.
