Today's surf conditions:
Todays' report: Great surf in Playa Hermosa (Dominical) today, some rain on the way, but looks like no wind. Should be a good sesh this afternoon before dark.
Waves are head high out front in Dominical, and around waist high in Hermosa.
This map shows swell period, direction, and arrival time, not wave height, though
red and purple colors do generally show bigger and more organized waves.
Swell period is basically the time lapse between individual ocean swells, and is easy to figure
out. First, remember that ocean waves tend to travel in groups, called sets. Then, when
you're on the beach, just wait for a set of waves to break, count the number of seconds
between each breaking wave in the set, and you have your swell period.
An increasing time lapse between waves indicates a new, arriving swell, and a decreasing
time lapse means that the waves are dropping.
