Saturday morning looks a bit questionable as a front blows through. The wind models are showing early onshore winds right out of the gate and those will jump up to as high as 30MPH by 10AM. As a result of the strong local winds the wind swell will pick up through the day and should get up into the chest to shoulder high zone for the better West facing breaks, (but chances are that it won’t be pretty).
