Our current south-southwest swell continues through Saturday, fading Sunday through the first half of next week. The west-northwest could wrap into some southwest exposures as well.

Our current large west-northwest swell is peaking at warning levels before slowly fading late Saturday and into early next week.

A series of northwest swells are possible next week with only small south-southwest pulses forecast.

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.
