SD will start off with the same sort of mix it had on Thursday…but with a touch more size thanks to a combo of building WNW-NW energy and a slightly lower morning tide. Look for more WNW-NW swell (280+290-300) to move in as we head into the afternoon.
Waves
Our surf will be mostly leftovers in the morning…lots of knee-high+ sets at the average NW facing spots. Standout NW breaks will be in the knee-waist high range with a couple of plus sets on the lower tides. Look for the new swell to build in and push the average spots into the waist-chest high range by the late afternoon…top spots will be close to waist-shoulder high by the end of the day. Shape won’t be the greatest by the evening, thanks to onshore winds…but it will still be nice to see some more size out there.
Winds
Look for variable onshore flow during the morning but with winds remaining mostly light in the 4-6 knot range. Look for more texture around the pockets of fog that will be roaming around the county in the morning. W-NW winds around 10-15 knots move in by the afternoon.
