Swell Summary
Outlook through Tuesday October 02: A moderate north-northwest swell is expected to fill in Friday and hold into the weekend before easing. Surf heights should remain below the advisory levels for north facing shores. A small to moderate southwest swell is expected to begin filling in Thursday, then hold into the weekend before gradually easing. A slightly larger south- southwest swell is expected to fill in Tuesday of next week and hold through midweek. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the week, then gradually increase over the upcoming weekend.
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.
