Surf Report/Forecast
January 20-21, 2022
Forecast through next Thursday: A current advisory level west-northwest swell will lower gradually through Thursday night. A larger northwest swell is expected to fill in Friday, peak Friday night, then lower gradually Saturday through Sunday. Surf heights are expected to reach or exceed High Surf Warning criteria during the peak of this swell. Another, but smaller northwest swell is expected to fill in Sunday night, peak Monday, then lower gradually Tuesday. Advisory level surf is expected during the peak of this swell. A small east-northeast swell is possible over the weekend, generated by a developing gale low east of the state. There will also be a slight increase in short period choppy surf for east facing shores over the weekend and on into early next week, as light to moderate trade winds return. No other significant swells are expected.
