March 30, 2018 Surf Forecast
Swell Summary
Outlook through Thursday April 05: A moderate northwest swell is expected to arrive Friday night and peak Saturday near the advisory level for north and west facing shores. An east northeast swell will decline slowly through Saturday. A background southeast swell will provide small surf along south facing shores into the weekend.
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.
