Saturday morning looks smaller as that NW ground swell heads off to mortuary but coughs up some waist to chest high sets in the AM before being officially toe tagged. High tides will wreak havoc on the dawn patrollers, but size and consistency should improve quickly by mid morning.

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience.

This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.

One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple.
