For Wednesday morning that energy will taper off a hair, but the best West facing breaks will continue to produce meaty, OH to WOH, (well overhead), sets through the morning and slowly back down in the afternoon. Don’t worry though, more punishing NW swell will start to show up late Thursday morning and put the best West facing breaks back into the OH to WOH zone late in the day. That energy should peak Friday morning.

The sea surface should remain clean, but the urban runoff will remain an issue.

For Friday morning that next swell should be in full swing with OH to DOH + sets for the top West facing beaches. The top spots will remain a daunting proposition with some Navy Seal Like skills needed. The swell direction will be a standard fare 295-300 angle with lofty 18-20 second intervals. Looks like another real ass kicker of a swell!
