Swell Summary

Outlook through Sunday February 11: The current northwest swell will continue to diminish through Thursday. A moderate northwest swell may arrive late in the week and continue through 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.
