SURF REPORT
Hey, this is Sherwood with the report for Saturday afternoon at 12PM.
SURF:
2-3 ft
knee to waist high and poor to fair conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: NW swell continues to build with plenty of waist-chest-shoulder high waves on tap this afternoon. Top spots hit head high on occasion. Winds are light onshore with mostly clean conditions.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Mainly around knee-waist high. Pick-n-choose corners with clean surface conditions.

The video clip is current as of the Nov 7th dawn patrol. The displayed date at the bottom of the clips is wrong. We're working on fixing this issue.

WEATHER:
Hazy skies, building onshore flow.
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
New NW groundswell will be on the rise today where it mixes with a mid-period WNW-NW swell and small SW groundswell. The better NW exposed spots of the region are currently holding sets around the 2-3'+ range this early morning. Furthermore, surface conditions are clean with calm wind. Look for bigger sets later today.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
SUNDAY: Steep angled NW groundswell holds throughout the day with 2-3'+ sets wrapping in at the better NW spots. Standout breaks produce occasional waves that are around 4'+. Small SW swell mixing in with inconsistent 1-2'+ waves. Clean conditions throughout the morning and staying fairly clean for the afternoon as well.
Wind: Calm to light/variable to light offshore early. Then look for a light seabreeze to develop from the west for the afternoon.
