For Thursday morning we’re looking at some steeply angled, short interval, NW wind swell to mix in with some more Westerly angled medium interval swell. This combination of energy put the top West facing breaks in the chest to shoulder high zone.

On Friday morning that short interval swell will increase with shoulder high plus surf at the exposed West facing breaks. The medium interval swell will be hardly noticeable in the midst of the wind swell.

On Saturday morning that swell will hold with shoulder to head high surf at the exposed West facing breaks but from the looks of things we’re in for some unsavory onshore winds.

The conditionslook a little iffy with gusty onshore winds out of the West right out of the gate and those will get up to 25 MPH in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 62 degrees.

On Sunday morning that wind swell will hold with chest to shoulder high surf at the exposed West facing breaks. With all that wind it the water temp will likely dip and it will take some time for Mother Nature to iron out those wind bumps overnight.

The conditions could go either way but the models today are calling for variable winds out of the East in the 6-12 MPH zone until 2PM, (slightly stronger below the passes and canyons), and mild SW breezes in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 60 degrees and there’s a 50% chance of rain.
