Craig, check this site out to see swell period and swell height forecasts. Pretty good graphics for that: http://tinyurl.com/ybpf57u Also, the latest issue of The Surfers Journal has a good interview with Walter Munk, one of the seminal oceanographers who developed the first models for predicting surf ... during and after WW II ... used to help decide which day D-Day would be. In training during the 1960's Marines at Camp Pendleton got training based on Munk's models. I'll save my copy of that issue if you want to peruse it later when you are down. Some killer surf footage at that site, also.
