More Information | Rate Accuracy of This Model
Surfline's LOLA Swell Model is the ONLY global swell model that can separate individual swells to accurately calculate surf heights for any location on Earth. Every surf spot will only have a limited range of swells that produce good surf at that location. Compare the LOLA swell forecast with a spot's "Optimal Conditions" information and your own local knowledge to score the best surf.
The "Swell Rose" above is the only one of it's kind in the world. This shows the directions of all the incoming swells
(N=0° East=90° etc). If you mouse over the swell rose you can see detailed raw numbers of the underlying swells.
US Weather data comes from the WeatherUnderground array of personal weather stations. Data is near realtime. International weather comes from LOLAs high resolution models or WUG where possible.
Tides are generated using the most excellent Xtide system.

Come celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the World Surfing Championship in Rincon THIS FRIDAY, the 21st of November, 6pm, with the World Premiere of "SALVA TRES PALMAS: The Film" and Live music from Mijo De La Palma at El Faro De Rincon. Admission is FREE. We'll see you there!
The North Shore circus is officially in full swing, drawing the world’s top surfing tightrope walkers, beast-tamers, freaks and clowns. For proof, just check Surfline’s latest weekly report , where NJ’s Ryan Miller followed East Coasters around during a down day. Zander Morton and Gabe Kling watched TV, while Brian Toth, CJ Hobgood and Ben Bourgeois played tennis. Come on, guys: get back in the water! And while you’re online, check out this clip of Ale Moreda and Dylan Graves blazing through Bali.
Meanwhile, back home, the ESA PRC contest set for Nov. 22/23 has been cancelled and will be moved to January (date to be determined). This will be the last contest of the 2008 season, but they’ll start the 2009 season in January also. Please check back for the dates.
And don’t forget about Rincon’s ongoing community project, "Coral Reef Protection through Marine Debris Removal in Reserva Marina Tres Palmas." Aside from cleaning the beach, the reef and local quebradas will be cleaned as well. Different methods will be used including beach cleaning, landscaping, nearshore snorkeling and free-diving, and scuba diving from the boat. If you are interested in helping out in this community effort in any way please ”email Wess.
It only takes a little asphalt to make water quality worse. And the PR Department of Transportation's proposed bicycle and pedestrian trail is actually a two lane paved road that will harm or destroy beaches, habitat, beach access and water quality and threatens endangered species including sea turtles and Elkhorn coral. Click here to send a letter urging Rincón's Mayor, the Governor of Puerto Rico, the PR Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration to redesign the path with community input.
And volunteers are now testing local waters as part of the Blue Water Task Force — the Surfrider Foundation's water quality monitoring, education and advocacy program created to alert citizens and officials in their communities about water quality problems and to work toward solutions. Samples are collected every Tuesday and results are available on line. For more information, check the BWTF website. And to volunteer, please call 787.823.2784.
The national election’s done, but another political fight is only beginning. With Congress lifting the ban on offshore drilling , now’s the time to contact your Senators and State Reps and tell them it’s time to explore for fresh energy solutions – not petroleum.
And, finally, what’s the best part of a surf trip? That giant excess baggage fee the airlines pork you with on both sides, right? Wrong! Well, stop bitching and do something by signing this petition.
