Swell Summary
Outlook through Thursday February 07: The current northeast swell will continue to keep surf elevated along east facing shores through Friday night before gradually lowering over the weekend. Surf heights may once again pick up along east facing shores toward the middle of next week. The current advisory level west northwest swell will lower gradually Friday and Friday night. Another moderate size west northwest swell is expected to fill on Saturday, peak late Saturday and Saturday night, then lower gradually on Sunday. Surf heights may reach advisory levels along north and west facing shorelines. A slightly smaller west northwest swell is on tap for Monday and Tuesday with a slightly larger west northwest swell expected Tuesday night and Wednesday. No other significant swells are expected.
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.
