Swell Summary

Outlook through Saturday February 10: The current northwest swell will continue to diminish through Thursday, but keep surf near advisory levels for north and west facing shores through Monday. 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.
