For Wednesday morning we’ll see that NW ground swell continue to fade and drop down to a mere waist to chest high and become less consistent. We will however see some fresh SW energy fill in later in the day from 200 degrees with 15-17 second intervals. While not a real chest thumping swell it will have a little pop to it and the most exposed South facing breaks should see some fun chest high + sets in the afternoon.

For Thursday morning we’ll be seeing some new, NW, medium interval swell fill in through the day and produce chest high plus surf for the better West facing breaks.

The SW energy, I mentioned from Wednesday, will peak and dole out chest high plus sets for any spot that has a peek at the SW and shoulder high plus waves at the top spots in the OC and San O’ areas.

For Friday morning we’ll see a combo of medium interval, (12-13 seconds) out of the NW from a steep 300-305 degree angle and some Southern hemi energy with 14-16 second intervals from a 195-200 degree angle. Both the West and SW facing beaches should dish up chest high sets with an occasional larger wave rolling through at the top spots.

The conditions look iffy as some rain and wind work their way into the picture. Things start off pretty tame in the AM with variable winds in the 3-7 MPH range until noon and 8-11 MPH out of the West in the afternoon and pick up steam into the evening. There’s a 60% chance of rain and the air temp tops out at 60 degrees.

For Saturday morning we’re projected to see some new, NW Wind swell enter the fray with 10-12 second intervals from a Westerly 285-290 degree angle. The surf should get up into the shoulder high to OH zone for the better West facing breaks, but the conditions are leaning toward poor.

The SW energy will be on the fade but continue to produce waist to chest high sets in the AM and slowly fade throughout the day.

The conditions don’t look good based on todays wind model projections. We’re looking at 8-15 MPH winds right out of the gate and those will get up to as high as 25 MPH in some spots in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 60 degrees.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Sunday morning we’ll see the NW wind swell continue to dish up head high to OH peaks for the top West facing beaches.

Some new SW energy will roll in from a 195-200 degree angle with 16-18 second intervals. The better SW facing spots should see some punchy waist to chest high sets throughout the day.
