For Friday morning we’ll see smaller surf with the top West facing beaches going waist high plus. The tide goes high at 8:34AM but recedes quickly after that so timing will be crucial to getting a few scraps.

Sunday morningshould see a slight increase as steeply angled, 10-12 second wind swell moves in from a 300 degree angle. The top West facing breaks should see waist to chest high peaks. Once again a late morning high tide will slow things down a bit but the early bird should be able to pick off a few before the tide peaks.
