For Friday morning looks to be the money day of the week as our pre-existing NW energy is joined by a decent, medium interval, (12-13 seconds), NW wind swell from a 290-295 degree angle. The top West facing breaks should see chest high peaks and possibly even a little bigger depending on how the wind swell plays out.
