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.

Since the 1968 Amateur World Championships revealed it to the international surfing public, Rincon has earned a prestigious distinction: Epicenter of Puerto Rican surfing. Join lifetime Rincon local, Ramse Morales, in a New Surfline segment, Local's View, for a visual tour over its consistent offshores and plentiful reefs.
How soon we forget. Seems like all it takes is a few days of flatness for those wonderful tropical memories to disappear. Well, check out Surfline’s September to Remember for sizzling a reflection on the action from all points East.
Then there’s the stuff some folks don’t want you to see, like the environmental mess Ike made, including a half-million gallons of spilled oil. And that’s just a drop compared to what will happen if we line our shores with rigs and refineries, giving nearly every named and unnamed storm a chance to pollute. 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.
Okay, back to the fun stuff. After three months, the hottest video clips of the summer season have been narrowed down to the finalists in Billabong’s Freewave Challenge where $40,000 is up for grabs. Among the challengers are: Aaron Cormican and Cody Thompson for ‘Monster Maneuver”; Jesse Hines and Zander Morton for “Best Barrel”; and Kelly Nicely for “Longest Ride.” Final rankings will be announced starting October 15, 2008.
ESA PRC will hold their next event – the Battle of the Bones – on Oct. 25-26. According to organizers: “This contest is our second traditional "Battle;" the "trophies" are the Bones (please feel free to donate to your favorite dog). Please remember that we are surfing for points. The Mid Atlantic Regionals will be held this year in our home district in April 2009. So please be sure to surf as many contests you can, securing all the points you can.”
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.
And finally, if you’ve read this far, you obviously care about surfing. Well prove it by speaking out against Congress lifting the ban on offshore drilling .The only reason those oil industry scumbags – that’s, right: scumbags -- got the ban repealed is because they fought for 20 years straight. Your job is to be just as tenacious on a state and local level to foil their efforts. Defend your beach. Contact your Senators and State Reps and tell them it’s time to explore for fresh energy solutions – not petroleum.
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 ...
