FRIDAY: A fun sized combo of S Hemi swells is in the water for the end of this week. The primary SSW swell (205-190) peaks late Thursday into Friday as secondary SW swell (230-215) fills in just behind it. This blend should be good for chest-head high surf Thursday and Friday, as focal points will see sets go a couple feet overhead.

Note – local thunderstorms in the area potentially sees winds swirl around a bit – Always keep an eye on the Hi Res Winds.
