Good Morning, this is davO with the report for Wednesday morning at 7:15am.
4-7 ft. - shoulder high to 2 ft. overhead with occasional 9 ft. and good conditions.
This morning's dawn patrol: Thick, clean lines wrapping in that are workable in the easily couple of feet overhead plus range-a bit swampy. Expect things to improve later in the day as the tide backs out.
Clear skies with light NNE winds early, turning light NNW in the afternoon.
Today we have WNW/NW groundswell peaks with shoulder high to overhead surf for well exposed spots. Small SSW swell also in the water for some peaks at combo breaks. Conditions are clean as we have light NNE winds early, turning light NNW in the afternoon. It's still a bit swampy in some areas due to our early a.m. 6.14' hightide-expect more consistency as the tide backs out.
WEDNESDAY: BIG TIDE SWINGS! WNW/NW groundswell peaks with shoulder high to overhead surf for well exposed spots. Small SSW swell also in the water for some peaks at combo breaks.
Wind: Light NNE early, light NNW in the afternoon.

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.
