SURF REPORT
Hey, this is Sherwood with the report for Saturday afternoon at 12:15PM.
SURF:
1-2 ft - knee to thigh highand poor+ conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Right now we're seeing waist-chest-shoulder high waves at the exposed spots. Most Northern LA breaks see bumpy, textured conditions thanks to NW flow. Things tend to clean up a bit through the South Bay. A 1.5' low tide makes it through around 2PM.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Plus sets. Semi-clean and small with some inconsistent crumbly corners.

WEATHER:
Light winds early turn NW 15kts most of the day.
NORTH LOS ANGELES'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
This morning there's a mix of mainly NW windswell and some new SE tropical swell starting to show at select spots. Surf is mostly in the knee-waist-shoulder high zone. Light winds early for semi-clean to textured conditionsthen steady onshores for the rest of the day. The tide hits a 5' high around 8:00am.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
SATURDAY:NW windswell fades, SE tropical swell shows at select spots in the far north half of the county (although most breaks in and around the Malibu region are blocked from the SE swell). Surf for the northern areas is waist-chest-shoulder high, while south spots average under waist high.
Wind: Gusty offshore NE winds in the morning turn W 10-14kts during the afternoon.
