For Friday morning the NW swell will peak with head high plus surf for the exposed West facing breaks. Brutal winds are forecasted to accompany the surf so it could be ugly out there. We’ll also see inconsistent SW swell with 14 second intervals from that same 185-190 degrees.
* Nice tide push through the morning.

For Saturday morning looks like another decent day for waves. NW Wind swell will remain the featured energy with chest to shoulder high + peaks and few larger sets sneaking through. A new SW swell will start to show up later in the day with 18-20 second intervals from a liberal 200 degree angle.

* MINUS tide early – 06:30 AM -0.98 feet Low Tide

The conditions look great as of today the models with NE/NNE breezes at 6-15 until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and 6-18 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp climbs up to 80 degrees on the sand.

For Sunday morning we’ll see leftover NW wind swell in the waist to chest high + zone and that new SW energy will continue to build in through the day. It’s a 3 foot, deep water swell with 16-18 second intervals from a 200 degree direction. That means that the sets will have some pop to them and the top spots should see OH waves. Looks like it might be the money day for the points and reefs. Tides a bit low early which could make things tough but there should be no shortage of swell!

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience.

This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.

One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple. Conditions can change drastically from day-to-day and even within the space of a couple of hours. To avoid wasted time and unproductive trips to the surf, it is essential to have access to reliable information on surf conditions.
