SURF FORECAST UPDATED 1-23-13
______________________________________________________________________________

For Thursday morning we should see some fresh, long interval, NW energy move down the line from a liberal, 280-290 degree angle. Most spots should see chest high plus sets while the standout, West facing breaks will see shoulder high to a couple feet overhead surf. The swell actually showed up earlier than we anticipated and is already delivering up head high to overhead sets.

On Saturday morning that Westerly swell will dip into the stomach to chest high range for the most exposed West facing breaks. A nearly 6 foot high tide at 8:18AM will slow things down for the morning session and the conditions look to be pretty tame.
