For Christmas morning we’ll still have some decent surf on tap with shoulder to head high plus sets in the morning, (larger waves at the best West facing beaches). There’s a nice tide push too so it looks like Santa is going to come through for those who have been nice!

The conditions could go either way as the winds models have been flip flopping between North and North East over the last few days. Take a look for yourself at these projections. If there’s East mixed in there tomorrow it should be really good, if a straight North wind is dominate the sea surface may get screwed up a little bit. I do believe though that Santa prefers a NE tail wind! The air temp dips to 62 degrees.
