For Saturday morning – April Fools Day – we’ll see that NW ground swell on its last legs, dipping down to 12 second intervals and contributing waist to maybe chest high sets to the general cause.

*Based on what the winds do on Friday, we could have a nice bump in 10-11 second local wind swell enter stage right. The angle will continue to be severe at 310 degrees with 10 second intervals and the best West facing breaks should go shoulder to head high, (possibly bigger).

For Sunday morning we’ll be reliant on NW wind swell with shoulder to head high surf for the better West facing breaks, (possibly larger at the top West facing beaches).

Small, sporadic pulses out of the SW will also remain in the mix.

The good news is another solid NW ground swell will weave its way into the picture from a Westerly angle of 285-290 degree angle and muscley 18 second intervals. Don’t expect to see much consistency in the AM, but the Scout sets could start showing up in the afternoon.

For Monday morning we’ll see peaking, NW ground swell surf with the best West facing beaches dishing up OH to WOH, (Well Over Head),sets from that same 285-295 degree angle, (with 16-18 second intervals).

Looks like NW wind swell will be in play too with8-10 second intervals from that same steep angle of 310 degrees.

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience.

This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.

One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple.
