For Wednesday morning we’ll see a combo of 2 pretty feeble swells out of the NW. Swell 1 will have 14 second intervals from a 300 degree angle and swell 2 will will have 8-10 second intervals from a steep 310 degrees. All in all we’re not looking at much more than waist high + surf for the best West facing breaks.
