For Wednesday morning the NW swell will be on the fade but there will be plenty of solid surf in the chest to shoulder high zone with some larger waves mixing in at the top spots.
We will also see that Southern Hemi energy peak with chest high sets with 16 second intervals from 185-190 degrees. The South facing breaks should see some nice chest high sets rolling through and the spots in the OC and San O’ areas will have the most size and consistency.
* Nice tide push through the morning.
