March 25, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Saturday March 31: The current northeast swell will continue to subside through the weekend. No other significant swells are then expected through most of the week. A small northwest swell will move through the islands Monday. Long term guidance suggests a possible near advisory northwest swell building over the islands next weekend. Small southwest swells are also expected to continue through the next several days.
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.
