SURF REPORT
Hey, this is Sherwood with the report for Sunday afternoon at 12:30PM.
SURF:
1-2 ft - ankle to knee high with occasional 3 ft. and poor+ conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Still mostly going waist high and below out there this afternoon, but expect a slight boost in size later as our new SW swell begins to fills in. Winds are still mostly light, but onshore flow will pick up later this afternoon. The tide hits a 4.5' high around 3PM.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Mainly closed out lines breaking close to shore.

WEATHER:
Overcast with light/variable wind. Afternoon WNW flow picks up 10-13kts.
SOUTH LOS ANGELES'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
We're starting slow this morning off a mix of gradual building SW swell (205-220) and old SSW swell (190-200). Most breaks are in the 1-2' range, with the occasional waist high set at southerly exposed breaks. Its clean, fast and walled up on the sets.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
MONDAY: SW swell will build further. For the better breaks in the north half of the bay look for knee-waist-chest high surf, while select standout breaks see larger sets to head high. Shape is generally fast and walled, although fairly clean in the morning. Breaks without the good SW exposure are significantly smaller than the above numbers.

Wind: Light/variable to light onshore in the morning. W to WNW wind steadily builds through the afternoon 10-14kts+.
