For Christmas morning we’ll see that same steeply angled NW swell start to fade but still dish up head high to OH sets for the AM and fade further into the afternoon.

The conditions are leaning toward poor as apparently Santa needs an onshore wind to expedite the gift giving. The wind models today are calling for 6-16 MPH onshore winds all day long. The air temp tops out at 58 degrees.

For Saturday morning it will be a bit smaller as that steep NW fades through the day. The top West facing breaks should see chest to shoulder high sets in the AM and that will get smaller as time wears on.
* Another brutal high tide at 9:05 AM will definitely slow things down.

The conditions could go either way. We’re slated to see North/NNE gusts in double digits all day long. If the NNE is dominant we’ll be all good if the North wins we’ll have howling side shore winds. The air temp jumps up to 61 degrees.

For Sunday morning we’ll see feeble waist high plus lines for the best West facing breaks.
* There will be a nice tide push through the dawn patrol but expect a complete shut down around 8:30AM.
