Swell Summary
Outlook through Thursday July 12: A new south swell is here, and is slated to peak Friday, just below the High Surf Advisory level of 8 feet. This swell will then slowly subside through the weekend. Strengthening trade winds will produce rough, short period near-high surf advisory surf along the east shore today. The arrival of a long period swell from a distant East Pacific Hurricane Fabio will push the east shore surf to at or above the advisory level by late Friday. The trades are expected to ease off late in the weekend, resulting in smaller surf along the east facing shores.
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.
