February 25, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Saturday March 03: Surf will remain elevated along east facing shores into early next week. Larger surf is expected along east facing shores beginning around Monday night or Tuesday with surf heights possibly reaching warning levels. A series of small, long period south swells are expected through the forecast period. Surf will remain relatively small along north and west facing shores through the forecast period.
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.
