Surf on Thursday – a few more small ones

Thursday won’t really be a surf day but there will be a few rideable lines that sneak through every once in a while.

We are going to have a mix of fading/background S-SW swell and a bit of local windswell.



Most of the average spots will continue to see surf around knee high with a few rare knee-high+ sets. The standout S-SW facing breaks (with good sandbars or reefs) will be more consistently around waist high on the sets.

Winds will be similar to the last few days...light and variable, with overcast skies, through the morning. Afternoon winds come onshore out of the WNW-NW around 10-14 knots.

There aren’t really any best bets for tomorrow...like I said it won’t be totally flat, but it will be pretty small and not all that consistent, which doesn’t really help things...the S-SW facing spots will be slightly better but not much of an improvement over the other areas. I would stick to the small wave gear and try to avoid the extremely low tide that rolls through early in the morning.

Here are the tides...

07:30AM LDT -1.0 L
02:20PM LDT 3.7 H
07:01PM LDT 2.4 L

7:30 is early? I've been surfing for 2 hours by that time.

ok so 7:30 isn't "early morning" right now...just pretend that I wrote "in the morning".

See don't you feel better? :)

Yeah, because they are on a boogie! All waves are head high when on a boogie.

Surf forecast was spot on this morning Adam. I was able to snatch some of those 'kneehigh+' waves you'd mentioned. actually were more like chest hi on about 4-5 sets early. Surfed that spot that you know where (not wedge).

Keep up the good work.
