Swell Summary
Outlook through Sunday May 06: The current north-northwest swell will slowly drop through the first half of the upcoming week. Surf along north and west facing shores should dip below advisory levels by Monday night. A long period south- southwest swell will hold into Monday. A reinforcement out of the south-southwest is expected by midweek.
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.
