AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS:
The swell is still pulsing and we've got a well overhead westerly swell. Hard offshores all day long, good waves, good shape, combed out. Bring spring suits. The water's cold because of the welling up of the offshores.

It will be dawn patrol and we should have good surf if the swell holds. Double sessions, morning and afternoon. The windows will be long, and if the swell holds, it will be excellent.
