SATURDAY Surf Forecast 

That NW wind swell is slated to deliver waist high + peaks for the better West facing breaks. The angle will remain at 300-310 degrees with 8-9 second intervals.

Although the winds look to be compromised, it’ll be about the best morning tide push you’ll see on paper… I’m making no promises in these tough times, but at least wake up and check the cams… you can always roll back over!

About the Swell Magnet 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. Any surfer who is interested in going beyond the most basic level of surfing will have to develop the ability to interpret waves and environmental conditions. This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.

The main difficulty lies in predicting how exactly the ocean and the environment will behave at any given time. One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple. Conditions can change drastically from day-to-day and even within the space of a couple of hours. To avoid wasted time and unproductive trips to the surf, it is essential to have access to reliable information on surf conditions.

Sites such as Swellmagnet.com offer up-to-the-minute surf reports that are essential to all California surfers.
