November 29, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Thursday December 06: The current northwest swell will continue to drop over the next couple of days. A new northwest swell expected to arrive Friday evening will produce surf near the advisory level along north and west facing shores as it builds through Saturday. Two or three more moderate northwest swells are expected through Monday night.
A very large northwest swell arriving Tuesday is expected to produce large enough surf along north and west facing shores to require a High Surf Warning.
Choppy surf along east facing shores will continue to subside as the trades weaken. Minimal surf is expected along south 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.
