SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 3-28-14
______________________________________________________________________________

* We are in process of upgrading all of our cams to HD which might sound like an easy operation but it has proven to be a bit difficult. The end result however, is quite impressive. Give us a month from now to get everything taken care of but be patient in the interim… sh#t. It’s all free! SO JUST HANG TIGHT! YOU WILL BE STOKED!!!

Saturday morning is looking pretty feeble for the morning with just smallish waist high plus surf on tap, and that will be fighting it’s way through a rather large high tide so keep your expectations low.

By Sunday morning we’ll see some fresh NW energy by first light. This should be good for shoulder to head high sets at the top West facing beaches, but the winds go onshore again so it may be a little junky.
