Wednesday morning is looking pretty small for the AM with leftover ground swell and an influx of wind swell. Don’t expect much more than waist high plus sets for the top spots. A fairly beefy high tide will make things pretty slow for you dawn patrollers.

For Thursday morning we’ll see some chest to shoulder high plus sets for the better West facing breaks. This will be comprised of a combination of short to medium interval wind swell and some longer period ground swell. An early morning high tide will slow things down a bit, but the waterline will recede quickly, resulting in a minus tide in the early afternoon.
