Swell Summary
Outlook through Wednesday October 10: Current northwest swell will gradually diminish through Thursday. A new south-southwest swell started filling in late yesterday and is expected to peak today at heights slightly above the summer average along south facing shores. Southwest and west swells from Hurricane Walaka is starting to register on buoys and is expected to increase throughout the day into tonight. This may produce advisory level surf starting later today or Thursday. Swells from Hurricane Sergio currently in the eastern Pacific is expected to arrive later this weekend into next week and will likely bring an increase of surf along east facing shores next week.
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.
