Just like clockwork… every time I go away for Thanksgiving the first pumping swell of the season roars into town. Although I tried to resist I was guilty of mind surfing a few glassy closeouts on the Porto Camera. Looks very clean this afternoon, and although mostly walled, I made a couple corner barrels, (in my mind at least). Enjoy it while you can and please pull into a ledging closeout for me! I’ll be back on Monday with a vengeance!

Saturday morning we’ll see that swell start to drop off in the AM, but the better West facing breaks should still be good for some chest to hopefully shoulder high sets. Sine will continue to fade through the day.

For Monday morning we’ll see that new swell put the top West facing breaks in the chest high plus range. The swell angle will continue to have more West in it than we’ve seen in quite some time. This energy, (280-290 degrees with 14-16 second intervals), and will get into most beaches with a look at the West.
