Swell Summary
Outlook through Wednesday January 31: Although trades will trend down during the next couple of days, the easterly swell will likely drop only slightly and will continue to generate east shore surf just below the advisory level into the weekend. A series of small northwest swells is expected through the week, and a north swell may produce moderate north shore surf Sunday through Tuesday.
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.
