SURF REPORT
Good Afternoon, this is davO with the report for Wednesday afternoon at 1:10pm.
SURF:
4-6 ft. - shoulder high to 1 ft. overhead and fair+ conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: This afternoon we are seeing fun peaks in the shoulder-overhead high range throughout the region with the better spots going slightly bigger on sets. Conditions remain semi-clean-as winds should stay fairly light into the evening and tide is going to come back in-which could make a few more workable faces to ride.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Clean, semi-consistent lines with fun corners and some plus sets.

WEATHER:
Light NE early, turing light W in the afternoon.
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
This morning there's a healthy WNW(285-310) groundswell mix filling in and setting up shoulder high to overhead surf and bigger sets at top spots. Light winds for clean conditions early, Light onshores due this afternoon.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
THURSDAY: BIG TIDE SWINGS! Solid WNW-NW groundswell eases a bit as smaller SW swell fades further. Surf in the shoulder-head high+ range for most exposed spots with standouts seeing well overhead sets. Better combo beachbreaks see some crossed up peaks.
Wind: Light N/NE wind early, shifting to light onshore NW for the afternoon.
