Forecasting Waves?
Sensors on buoys and satellites all around the Pacific Ocean allow scientists
to forecast wave conditions several days in advance. The predicted wave heights
are predicted (right) for Point Conception and San Francisco.

Flooding Index: Tide and Swell Forecast
If big storm waves arrive at the same time as a high tide, watch out! By combining
the forecasted wave heights with the tide forecast for a location such as Dana
Point, this chart indicates how high water levels are likely to rise at the beach.
This information is useful if you are planning on going tidepooling or live near
the beach.
