Swell Summary
Outlook through Sunday November 11: No major swells are expected for most of the next week. A small west- northwest swell will arrive today into Monday, and then diminish Tuesday. Another small northwest swell is expected Wednesday and Thursday. A small south swell is possible Friday and Saturday. An increasing short-period north swell is possible toward the end of the week and next 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.
