Our current swell is expected to hold pretty steady today and begin a downward trend but warning level surf is still expected through much of the day.
Another large northwest swell is expected Wednesday through Thursday, which will be from a more distant source. For now, the swell is expected to arrive Wednesday morning and build through the early Thursday before gradually fading Friday through Saturday. Warning level surf is expected with this round of swell as well. This swell is forecast to be a bit more westerly than the last one.
A small southwest swell is expected to show Thursday through Saturday. Another small bump could fill in the first week of March as well.
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.
