June 24, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Saturday June 30: Rough surf will continue along east facing shores through next week, with small surf along the other shores. Two overlapping long-period south swells are expected next week with the first one filling in Tuesday and the second through the day Wednesday.
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.
