Swell Summary
Outlook through Thursday November 08: The current northwest swell will gradually lower through the rest of the week. A small to moderate west-northwest to northwest swell will be possible Sunday through early next week. Surf along south facing will remain small through early next week. Small to moderate surf will hold along east facing shores into the weekend. No other significant swells expected through early next week.

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.
