Like, I'll see forcasts for seas to be 1-3 feet for that given day but is there a source that forcasts days and weeks into advance? Really just something that gives the next 3-5 days would be nice.

Another site and an experimental weather model:

http://www.surfline.com

http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/graphical/sectors/

Click your state on the graphic map(second link above) and you can get wave heights and many other forecasts for several days in advance, however,don't become too dependent on it because it can change quickly. Also check your local buoys and marine forecasts and winds. Research your local break, find out when the best tides are to surf, best swell direction, and you won't even need a surf forecast because you will be able to figure it out yourself.
