SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 4-7-13
______________________________________________________________________________

For Monday morning we’ll have a declining NW ground swell and a dying SW swell combining with more wind swell and the best West facing breaks should go shoulder to head high plus. The wind models look iffy at best so the conditions will likely be poor.

Wednesday morning looks interesting if things clean up for the dawn patrol. No real significant swell but between some small 16-18 second ground swell and that local wind swell there should be waist to chest high peaks for the better West facing breaks. The winds look great through the morning and there’s a little tide push for the dawn patrollers.
