Swell Summary
Outlook through Friday July 06: Surf along east facing shores will begin to drop this evening as the trades gradually weaken. Surf along south facing shores will slowly ease into the weekend. Two small, long-period southerly swells, which are expected over the weekend and early next week, will keep the surf along south facing shores near the summer average through the first half of next week. A low pressure system currently southeast of New Zealand should bring more south swells towards the end of next week.
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.
