Friday morning should see some tiny lines with some small NW wind swell, (8-10 second intervals), from a steep angle of 310 degrees. The top South facing breaks should do a little better with waist high plus sets from a steep 185 degrees. The top spots in the OC and San O’ areas should produce larger sets once the tide starts to fill in.
