Swell Summary
Outlook through Sunday March 04: Large east swell and high surf will continue along east facing shores through the upcoming week. Surf may reach warning levels along those shores beginning around Monday night or Tuesday. A series of small, long period south swells are expected through the forecast period. Surf will remain 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.
