For Friday morning it’s hard to say how quickly this wind swell will back down. So far it’s size and strength has far exceeded what it looked like on the models so it could retain a little size for one last hurrah. On paper we’ll hover in the waist to chest high range for the better West facing beaches, but it could possibly be bigger.

* Tides will likely put the clamps on the morning surf.
