As you can see, we’ve redesigned the site and I hope you’re pleased with the new look and feel of it. There is a definite learning curve for the site management so please be patient as I get things up to speed over the next month or so. If you have any other suggestions on ways to improve swellmagnet, feel free to drop us an email Thx, the SM TEAM.

Monday morning should be a little bigger, with 12-14 second interval swell moving down the line from a steep 305 degrees. The better West facing breaks should be in the chest to shoulder high plus range.

We’ll also see continued, smallish, SSW energy, from a 195 degree angle, in the knee to waist high range.

Thanksgiving Thursday morning should see a slight bump in size for the West facing breaks as we see some fresh, shoulder to head high sets for the better West facing breaks. There will also be some waist high plus sets out of the SW so it’ll be a good morning to go work up an appetite for a big Thanksgiving dinner.
