For Wednesday morning things will start to get interesting as some fresh, bruising ground swell fills in through the day. The morning will start off on the timid side, (size wise), but some larger scout sets will start to fill in later in the morning and by sunset the top West facing breaks should see OH to DOH sets.

Thursday morning looks solid with OH to DOH + sets at the top West facing breaks. This swell will also have quite a bit of West in it, roaring in from a liberal 280-285 degrees with muscle flexing 18-20+ second intervals. The Beach breaks may be a bit brutal unless your Navy Seal Training Certificate is valid. The points, reefs, jetties and more southerly facing breaks hold more promise of order and shape, but pick your poison. It will be PUMPING!
