NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - South swell pumps in some overhead surf for Saturday and then
thrown
into the mix is a SW bump for added size and wave counts on the sets.
By
Monday, both swells fade a little and by Tuesday, the surf is back to
chest to
headhigh. After that, even smaller down to waist to chest by Friday.
Midday
hightides mean dawn patrols at the points, as well as Tulin and
Barranca.
Nothing big showing for next weekend.
Caribbean - The NE swell has backed off from the coast, leaving some
sets in
the chest to head high range for Friday and dropping by to chest high
for the
weekend. The size drops a little more for early next week, while the
rain
appears to be making a comeback.
