February 04, 2019 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Monday February 11: A moderate west-northwest swell expected by Wednesday will lead to rising surf along north and west facing shores. Surf should remain below advisory levels. Surf may near advisory levels for east facing shores Wednesday night through Thursday night as a long-period northeast swell arrives. Rough conditions are expected along north and west facing shores Friday into the weekend due to a combination of moderate to strong northerly winds and a large northwest swell. Surf will likely exceed warning levels for north and west facing shores Friday.
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.
