SurgeCast’s Monterey dive forecast
A site-specific forecast for Monterey shore dives, combining seven-day outlooks with live ocean data and ratings for local dive sites.
- For
- Monterey-area shore divers checking conditions
- Worth noticing
- Each shore site's rating accounts for its swell window, exposure, wind direction, and locally defined tide rules.
Field notes
The page separates Monterey Bay from Carmel/Point Lobos, citing buoys 46236 and 46239, then adjusts offshore readings by each site's swell exposure, wind direction, and local tide rules. It lists conditions for 13 named shore sites, with day/night and card/list views; the forecast is checked against measured buoy conditions and corrected when it runs high or low. Site wave heights remain estimates because the buoys are offshore, and the page tells divers to inspect the water before entering.
