For Thursday morning the size will hold in the head high to overhead range for the best West facing breaks, but won’t be quite as consistent as Tues/Weds. There still may be a few surprises lurking out there, but it should make for a slightly more relaxed session!

Friday morning will continue to dish up noteworthy swell with the best West facing breaks seeing head high to OH sets through the morning and tapering off a bit in the afternoon.

All of this energy will continue to have an ample amount of Westerly direction in it, which means that the more Southerly facing breaks will be receptive, (the swell will just be muffled).

Saturday morning will be smallest day we’ve seen in a while but the surf will remain formidable with head high plus sets throughout the day. Don’t be shocked if some larger scout sets from our next swell start to show up later in the afternoon.

For Sunday morning it looks like someone put some more quarters in the wave making machine. Some Fresh NW swell, from a Westerly angle of 285-295 degrees, (17-19 second intervals), filling in later in the day. We will start off with head high to OH sets at first light and then the swell will morph into another OH to DOH + beast as the day wears on. This is a 7foot, deep water swell so I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s even bigger than the last hay maker. I have a feeling that the Monday will be the biggest day of the year so far!!!

The liberal angle of this swell will once again allow for it to get into almost all South facing breaks, (although obviously the swell will be smaller *but safer), than that of the West facing beaches.
