For Friday morning we’ll see small SW pulses in the background from a 190-200 degree angle. The more exciting news is that some unseasonal, long interval, NW swell will start showing up throughout the day. This energy will move in from a fairly steep 300-305 degrees with 16-19 second intervals and the most exposed West facing beaches should see shoulder to head high sets by days end.

Big tide around 9AM – Fri 09:05 AM 5.13 feet High Tide
