I’m not trying to frighten anyone, just relaying news through the grape vine as it becomes available.

There was an estimated 10 foot shark in the line up at El Porto yesterday. Wagner Abreu, who has seen many sharks in and around the Manhattan Beach area had the shark surface near him on 2 occasions and quickly exited the water. Others claimed to see the large dorsal fin from the safety of the parking lot.

For Saturday we should see some fresh SW swell start to fill in throughout the day and mix with the NW wind swell. The dominant energy will be coming in from a 185-195 degree angle with powerful 18-20 second intervals. The exposed South facing breaks should see shoulder to head high sets by days end and the NW wind swell should contribute shoulder high + swell.

Sunday should be pretty good for the S/SW facing breaks and will be more consistent as the intervals on the SW swell dip to 16-18 seconds. The top spots should see shoulder to head high sets and the NW wind swell will continue on in the background! Top spots in the OC and San O’ areas will see larger OH sets. It’s a deep water, (3.2 feet at 16-18 seconds), so it will definitely have a little bit of pop to it!

The conditions look great for spots that like a little South in the wind equation. We’ll see SE/SSE breezes at 8-15 MPH until noon and up to 10-15 MPH out of the South West in the afternoon. There’s a 10% chance of rain and the air temp tops out at 67 degrees.

Monday should be a little smaller as both the wind swell and South West swell back down. The Southerly energy will be dominant, but the size will drop and the wait between sets will increase. This fade will continue into Tuesday, but if you’re patient, there should be some fun sets rolling through.

Tuesday will be a little smaller with only the dying SW energy on the menu. The better South facing beaches will see waist high plus sets in the morning and then that swell will be gurneyed off to the hospice in the afternoon.
