SURF REPORT
Wuddup, this is davO with the report for Friday morning at 6:30am.

This morning's dawn patrol: Minor traces at best, mostly flat.

WEATHER:
Clearing sunny skies and light offshore flow-clean.
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
Our new WNW groundswell peaks out early today offering some fun and workable surf for most areas. Expect more size through the north end of the region, most spots are seeing waist-chest high waves while standouts (mainly extreme north HB) see plus sets occasionally. Conditions are clean with calm winds and tide is climbing to a 3.63' high at 1:45pm-which may soften things up a bit. Some areas are having a slow start-and should see things improve throughout the day.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
FRIDAY: WNW groundswell peaks early with chest-shoulder-head high plus waves at the better spots and overhead sets for standouts. Slow fade during the day.
Wind: Light NE early, light NW in the afternoon.

WSA heads to Oceanside Harbor this weekend. Surfline's Kevin Wallis put together this custom forecast for WSA: "Saturday morning will be a little slow, relatively speaking, with mainly old and fading WNW swell in the water. The waves will still be plenty contestable, however, with waist-chest occasional shoulder high sets at the Harbor. Look for a gradual building trend over the afternoon as a touch of both new WNW and SSW swell start to fill in. Sunday looks like a really fun day of surf as the WNW swell builds in further and the small SSW swell mixes in to offer the occasional crossed up and bowly peak. Surf will potentially be in the chest-head high range, with a pretty good possibility of some larger sets." CLICK HERE to register now. Registration will close at 9:00 PM on Wednesday, December 3. No phone or email entries.
