Witch's Rock surf forecast & live buoy readings

Witch's Rock is rated from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the break itself; no NOAA wave buoy sits within 200 km, so the model is the only live source on this coast. It works on swell from S through WNW, best at 13–18 s. The first 5 days, the tide chart and every buoy's live readings and history are free to everyone; a free account adds the full 16-day wave and wind charts and custom swell alerts.
