Observed Surf Report by Schaler at 6:35am

SURF:

2-3 ft +

knee to chest high occ. 4 ft.

FAIR TO GOOD CONDITIONS

Hey, this is Schaler with the report for Friday morning

This morning's dawn patrol: Clean and lined-up this morning. Looking soft through the high tide, but look for conditions to improve through the morning.

WEATHER:

Mostly cloudy with scattered showers approaching the region. Winds are light ESE.

SPONSORED LINK:

Today's waves are best suited to the Fatburner.

REGIONAL SUMMARY:

Our NW-WNW(280-300+) swell from yesterday is dropping, as new, more sizeable, NW-WNW(280-300+) swell builds in through the day today. For the dawn patrol better breaks have surf in the shoulder-head high+ surf, with standout spots pulling in some occasional 2-3'+ overhead sets. Conditions are looking a little warbly and mixed up at some of the more exposed breaks. Look for conditions to improve slightly through the morning if the S winds stay off it.
