Swell Summary
Outlook through Sunday November 04: The new north-northwest swell has arrived and is expected to peak this morning just below advisory levels. A reinforcing long-period northwest swell is expected late Tuesday through Wednesday and may reach advisory level heights. Surf along south facing shores will slowly lower through Monday. Strong southerly winds ahead of a front will bring a short-lived windswell along south facing shores on Tuesday. No other significant swells are expected through end of this week.
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.
