South: Wave heights are expected to be ankle/waist high today.

Our current long period south-southwest swell is expected to continue trending down. Sunday into Monday a small southwest swell is expected to filter in with occasional rideable waves for the best exposures. Not much expected out of the SPAC anytime soon.

Screen Shot 2016-04-01 at 11.08.19 PMOur current northwest swell is down to leftovers today. A north swell is expected Sunday into Monday but will be heavily shadowed. Models are showing another northwest swell around April 6th. Will keep an eye on the progress.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
