APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

Wow waves! Not great waves, not even good waves, but there finally were SOME waves! I can’t remember being so stoked to surf a sub par wind swell, but I am! Finally I feel like I reclaimed a little of my MOJO and have almost convinced myself that I can still surf. It looks like we will have swell into the foreseeable future so get out there and enjoy it. If nothing else, the #WWE (worst winter ever), should have taught us to truly appreciate every crumb of surf we get from here on out!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Monday morning the NW wind swell will remain the featured swell with chest to head high + peaks for the better West facing beaches. The angle will shift more out of the North at 295-300 degrees with 11-13 second intervals.

For Tuesday morning the wind swell will remain the star attraction, but drop off into the waist to chest high zone in the AM, (285-300 degrees with 11-12 second intervals), and continue to fade throughout the day.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Wednesday morning we’ll see more NW energy enter the fray, and based on todays wave models there should be some waist high + surf early and that will pick up steam throughout the day and hit the chest high mark at some point in the afternoon, (285-300 degrees with 8-10 second intervals).

For Thursday morning things will start off on the slow side with waist high + waves and it looks like we’ll be victimized by onshore winds right out of the gate as well.

The good news is that some fresh ground swell will fill in later in the day. The new energy moves in from a 290-295 degree angle with 15-16 second intervals. The surf should be Head high to OH by days end but the sea surface will likely be trashed.
