For Saturday morning things will start off on the slow side, but we do have some fresh NW energy scheduled to build in later in the day. This new swell will move in from a 285-295 degree angle with 14-16 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.

The better West facing breaks will see overhead to well OH sets, but the sea surface may be a bit messy with all of the wind out there.
