Even though it was Friday the 13th we sure lucked into another gorgeous day and a fresh pulse of swell. That was an awesome few days of surfing with all of the elements syncing together. It seemed like everyone was getting good waves and smiles of stoke definitely outweighed the scowls, (at least where I was surfing).

I hope you were able to get in the water, if not, no problem, it looks like Saturday should dish up one more good day before the swell backs down and the Santa Ana winds pack their bags!

On Saturday morning, (Valentines Day), that swell will continue to generate head high plus sets for the better West facing breaks, (possibly bigger sets), in the morning and slowly back down throughout the day.

High pressure will start to break down later in the day but we’ll get one more nice warm one with the air temp topping out at 80 degrees.

For Monday morningboth weather and swell will take a turn for the worse. The swell will be carted off to the hospice as the last twitches of life are choked out by a 6 foot high tide. We’ll be left with waist high plus surf for the best West facing beaches and that will only be when tide permits!

* An early high tide will stifle the little surf for the dawn patrol.
