a large northwest swell will elevate surf along north and west facing

west facing shores through thursday. this swell will peak early 
thursday morning and then slowly subside through saturday. another 
pulse of advisory level surf for north and west facing shores is 
possible early next week. with more moderate trades returning, expect 
slightly higher surf, but below advisory criteria for the east facing 
shores later this week. the south facing shores will see small 
background south swell through the forecast period.

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.
