For Thursday morning the surf will have a bit more muscle to it, with the best West facing breaks seeing OH to a couple feet OH sets. That will continue through the day and begin tapering off a hair in the afternoon.

All of this energy will continue pouring in from that same 285-295 degree angle.

* No major tide swings through the morning hours.

The conditions look great with NE/NNE winds in the 4-7 MPH zone until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and then they shift to a more Westerly direction, at about the same velocity, in the afternoon. The air temp bumps up to a toasty 71 degrees on the sand.

For Friday morning that same swell will continue to provide OH + sets through the morning as a larger swell starts to fill in later in the day!

* Looks like another thumping swell will be in play for the Saturday morning show! This one will roar in from a 290-300 degree angle with 19-21 second intervals! Top West facing breaks will be OH to DOH zone with a chance at some even larger death sets ambushing unsuspecting surfers! The swell looks SOLID but our Santa Ana condition will be shutting down and with it those great offshore conditions we saw earlier in the week.

Sunday morning looks a bit smaller, (but still plenty of juice), with the top West facing breaks serving up Head High to OH + sets.
