How the surf height is estimated

We take the Open-Meteo wave forecast offshore and scale it for this spot with a factor learned from two years of the Scripps CDIP MOP nearshore wave model, which accounts for headlands, islands and the sea floor. From the wave height at the spot (15 m deep) we estimate the breaking wave and show its face height as a range. No local reports have calibrated this spot yet; the "How was it?" form above feeds them. It is a model estimate, not an observation: check the beach before you paddle out.
