APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

For Saturday morning the scenario will begin to shift as a series of S/SW swells infiltrate So Cal. Things start off slow as the smallish SW swell from yesterday is overlapped by a larger swell. The new swell will roll in from a South Westerly angle of 215-220 degrees and 17-19 second intervals. While not a real barn burner we should see some chest high sets fill in through the day. Any beach that gets a sniff of that angle should see at least a little action.

For Sunday morning should be more solid with waist to chest high + sets for the top South facing beaches. The angle will continue to have quite a bit of West in it rolling in from a 210-220 degree angle and 15-16 second intervals.
The following week is looking pretty solid with non-stop SW energy up and down the coast.
Stay tuned!
