Outlook through Thursday May 03:
A moderate, long-period north-northwest swell will slowly build today
and peak Friday, with surf heights remaining below advisory levels. A
larger north-northwest swell is expected this weekend and early next
week, with the potential for advisory-level surf along north and west
facing shores. This swell will gradually diminish through the middle
of next week. Choppy surf along east facing shores will diminish
through Friday as trade winds weaken. Small southerly swells will
persist for most of the week, with a peak expected Sunday.
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.
