Outlook through Monday April 30:
Surf along north and west facing shores will gradually lower into
midweek as the current northwest swell eases. Surf along east facing
shores will remain rough through the week and may reach advisory
levels by midweek. Another moderate northwest swell is expected
Thursday through Saturday, which will lead to rising surf along north
and west facing shores. A small southwest swell will hold into midweek
before easing through the second half. A new long-period small southwest
swell will be possible over the upcoming 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.
