There will be some waves this weekend...it won’t be huge...or that consistent...but it will be more rideable than the last few days.
We are going to see a mix of S swell (180-200) that will peak through Saturday and then start to slowly fade through Sunday and Monday. In the background we are going to see a mix of WNW-NW windswell and a tiny bit of SW swell. It looks like the windswell will build in a bit more by the end of the weekend. Check out the sideways forecast...it is nice not to see so much dark blue.
Wave heights are going to average around waist-chest high for most areas. The standout S facing spots and good combo breaks will have some shoulder high sets. (between you and me...I didn’t really like the storm that sent this S swell, so I am staying on the conservative side with my wave heights...I wouldn’t be all that surprised to see some bigger sets mixing in on the lower tides...but I wouldn’t count on them either).
Winds look good for the next couple of mornings. Overcast skies and light and variable conditions for most areas. W winds will build in through the afternoons topping out around 10-14 knots. Check out the wind models...
Saturday @ 8am
Sunday @ 8am
With it being a holiday weekend, and there being some swell after a few days of flatness...there is going to be a lot of frustrated line-ups out there. Really I think your best bet is to find a playful peak close to home...and try and get some surf early in the day before the winds/tide/crowds start to kill the fun-factor. I would also keep an eye on the tides...even though they aren’t super high/low the surf has been pretty sensitive to the swing...try and plan around it if you can.
Here are the tides...Have a great memorial day! (Also I want to send out a huge thanks to all of our servicemen and servicewomen...I hope you stay safe where ever you are).
I should post a new forecast for Memorial Day on Sunday...but I probably will be drinking which sort of makes it an iffy proposition. Have a good one gang!

F this I'm moving to NorCal
Planes and American flags?......we are going into another depression, why give this shit props??....I need Obama bucks now!!! and I'm moving to Hossegor!!!....Socialized medicine 4 lyfe
I generally agree with ANON-2 (and I am onboard with Anon-1's idea too)
But the holiday isn't about the USA Government...it is about all the people that are serving and dying for our county. It sucks that this is a shitty couple of wars but I got friends sitting in sand in iraq and I want to let them know that I personally appreciate them and hope they come home safe...and have lots of Obama bucks to spend.
That and my kid loves jets...so when I asked him to pick one out it was only natural that we got jets.
how exactly does getting drunk and going to parades "honnor" your friends exactly?
