Swell Summary
Outlook through Monday April 09: A small to moderate reinforcing west-northwest swell will be possible by midweek. Choppy, short period, surf will be possible Tuesday through midweek along south facing shores due to increasing southwest winds. Another moderate, northwest swell is expected to build Friday and peak Saturday. A much larger northwest swell will be possible Monday of next week, that could lead to surf reaching warning levels.
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.
