For Thursday morning we’re looking at combination of NW wind swell, (290-300 degrees), and the peak of that steeply angled South swell, (175-190 degrees). Overall nothing to get real excited about but the most exposed South facing breaks in the San O’ and OC areas should see some chest high sets. The West facing beaches should dish up waist to chest high wind peaks.

The tide’s a little fat at 9:12AM which will undoubtedly slow things down a hair.

For Sunday morning we’re looking at nice little boost in size as some medium interval wind swell rolls in from a 290-300 degree angle. This should put the best West facing breaks into the waist high plus range with the possibility of some larger sets at the standouts!

There’s a nice little tide push through the prime morning surf hours.
