Beware of the Urban Runoff – It is advised to stay out of the water for 72 hours following any measurable rain fall. It’s always a roll of the dice, especially after a major downpour. The threat of getting sick is very real, so if you do insist on taking the plunge be sure to use ear plugs and upon exiting the ocean rinse off in hot water, use some alcohol based ear drops, and a nasal netti pot rinse for good measure never hurt anybody.

For Saturday we’ll see a bump in size for the better West facing breaks as some stormy wind swell moves in and dishes up waist to chest high surf. The winds are supposed to blow E/SE so there’s at least a chance that it won’t be a blown out mess but it looks like the rain will definitely be threatening, (90% chance).
