For Thursday morning energy will be backing down throughout the day but there will still be plenty of swell in the water. The top West facing breaks should see OH to WOH sets from that same 270-280 degree angle but the intervals will dip to 12-14 seconds.

For Friday morning that swell will continue to be on the decline but still have enough muscle to dish up chest to head high sets for the better West facing breaks. The angle will remain a very Westerly 270-280 degrees and intervals slip to 12 seconds. There will be some other shorter interval wind swell in the max but overall the sur won’t be real impressive.

* Tide’s a bit fat in the AM too! Fri 07:34 AM 5.63 feet High Tide

For Sunday morning we’ll see another round of NW energy enter the fold but things will start off pretty tame in the morning with chest high sets but that will continue to build through the day with head high to OH sets rolling in by the afternoon. Monday should be PUMPING so stay tuned as we continue to track the surf and wind.
