Good Afternoon, this is davO with the report for Wednesday afternoon at 12:45pm.
1-2 ft - ankle to knee high and fair - conditions.
PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: This afternoon we are seeing fun peaks in the knee-waist-chest range throughout the region with the better spots going slightly bigger on sets. Winds are going to stay fairly light into the evening and tide is going to come back in-which could make for a few better faces to ride.
This morning's dawn patrol: Clean ankle-knee high + sets, just a bit inconsistent at times. A few workable corners to pick off on the North side at times-but, mostly tiny and closed-out. Dumpy shorepound on the south side.
Clear skies with calm to light offshore flow early with West/NW flow in the afternoon around 5-10kts+.
Today we have our old WNW and SW swell mix backing off as a new modest WNW groundswell builds into the day. Surf hangs in the 2-3'+ range at the better spots, standouts go to around chest-shoulder high on occasion. Clean conditions in the morning, with occasional crossed up lines and peaks. Winds are calm to light offshore flow right now with W/NW flow in the afternoon around 5-10kts+. Conditions are still a bit swampy due to the early a.m. high tide-which will be draining out to a low of -0.62' at 1:04pm.
THURSDAY: WNW-NW groundswell mix holds as old SW swell fades. Surf in the knee-waist-chest zone with shoulder high sets for top breaks. Fun, peaky shape off the swell combo. Watch for big tide swings to effect size/shape at most spots.
Wind: Light/variable to light offshore flow early with W/NW flow in the afternoon around 10kts+.

The internet as we know it was built by, and is populated with, people who are just obsessive-compulsive enough to appreciate a good, ranked top ten list. The turning over of every calendar year is a fine excuse to indulge in an orgy of list-making, as we sum up the previous year and see if there are some lessons we can learn for the new year. Link over to Surfnews for a thrilling review of Surfline’s Ten Most Important Stories of 2008.
