Another strong SSW swell moves in - not nearly as big as the 8th-10th but still good size.

Dawn-10AM: A recent SPAC storm set up another SSW swell which will fill in over the weekend.

Waist-chest high waves on tap, a little larger for better breaks in the AM.

PM Outlook: Chest-shoulder high surf easier to find, pushing head-high+ high for better in southern Ventura.
