For Friday morning
we’ll finally see more size and strength again as some liberally angled NW energy tracks in from a 285-295 degree angle with 14-16 second intervals. The best West facing breaks will dish up shoulder to head high plus sets as the swell fills in through the day. Things could start off slow early but there will be hope on the horizon!
* There’s just a minor tide surge in the morning and even the peak high tide around 11AM is not unreasonably high. All systems go!

For Saturday morning that same swell from 285-295 degrees will deliver shoulder to head high plus sets for the best West facing breaks. Due to the Westerly angle of this energy at least a little swell will leak into the South facing breaks.
Conditions, surf and tides all look good on paper so keep your fingers crossed.

For Monday morning we’ll see the hospice portion of that NW energy as it’s wheeled off to experience a slow but comfortable death. The morning hours will be in the waist high zone early but the good news is that some small reinforcement swell will start to show later in the day.
The new energy will come in from that same 285-295 degree angle as it’s predecessor but be a bit smaller with chest high plus sets for the better West facing breaks. That won’t likely really come into play until Tuesday but you never know…
