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.

Think there’s no ‘EC’ in “team”? Think again. At the end of the last week’s Surfing America USA Champs, seven Right Coast rippers made the Pac Sun squad, representing all three regions: Fisher Heverly, Balaram Stack, Evan Geiselman, Quincy Davis, Keenan Lineback, and Cam Richards – plus – freshly crowned under-14 girls champ, Nikki Viesins. (She’s not the only winner, either, as four more hometown heroes took their divisions: Cody Leutgens (Masters), Kate Easton (Girls Longboard); Kayla Beckman (Women’s Longboard); Dylan Andrews (Junior Longboard); Ty Roach (Men’s Longboard.) Congrats everyone. And for full coverage, click here.
Meanwhile, back in PR, the Puerto Rico Surfing Federation will be holding a very important meeting in Aguadilla, Tuesday, August 26. The future of the Federation will be discussed so if you have any questions, would like to get involved, or are a competitor please attend. For more info, email Victor Torres or Hector Valle.
Also, Tuesday, Sept. 2 is the last day surf shops will accept entries for the ESA Puerto Rico comp set for Sept. 6 at Jobos. Please make sure that your membership is up to date and that you turn in your entry on time. After this date entries will only be accepted at the beach and with limited space available.
And on Sept. 4, Surfrider Rincon meets at the Balneario Público de Rincón (Rincón Public Beach). Meetings start at 7:30 pm. Please join us there.
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.
Finally, join lifelong surfer Ralph Williams as he documents a full hurricane season between Nova Scotia to Florida from now ‘til Dec. 1 – all while raising funds for injured service personnel. Click here to follow along and leave a message – or a donation.
