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 on down!
WSA heads to Oceanside Harbor this weekend. Surfline's Kevin Wallis put together this custom forecast for WSA: "Saturday morning will be a little slow, relatively speaking, with mainly old and fading WNW swell in the water. The waves will still be plenty contestable, however, with waist-chest occasional shoulder high sets at the Harbor. Look for a gradual building trend over the afternoon as a touch of both new WNW and SSW swell start to fill in. Sunday looks like a really fun day of surf as the WNW swell builds in further and the small SSW swell mixes in to offer the occasional crossed up and bowly peak. Surf will potentially be in the chest-head high range, with a pretty good possibility of some larger sets." CLICK HERE to register now. Registration will close at 9:00 PM on Wednesday, December 3. No phone or email entries.
