For Friday morning the swell will continue to drop and leave us with the smallest surf we’ve seen in quite some time. The top West facing breaks will dip into the waist high + zone.

There is some smallish SW energy showing up on the radar but although long interval it will remain a feeble knee to waist high for the better South facing beaches. *These small Southerly pulses will continue for the next few days, but don’t expect anything bigger then waist high through the rest of the week.

A nearly 5 foot high tide just before 7AM won’t do us any favors. Might be time to break out the SUP and see if there are any Sharks moving in this year!

For Saturday morning things will start off on the slow side, but we do have some fresh NW energy scheduled to build in through the day. This new swell will move in from a 285-295 degree angle with 14 second intervals.

An early morning high tide, coupled with a slow building swell will make for a less than exciting dawn patrol but look for some scout sets to start showing up in the afternoon and continue to gain steam later in the day.
