The next swell is forecast to fill in Friday and peak Saturday with advisory level surf expected. A larger northwest swell is forecast for early next week at possibly warning levels.

Nothing significant expected out of the South Pacific but activity is starting to pick up a little bit.

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.
