New short-medium period WNW-NW energy (290-300) starts to push through on Friday…the main part of the energy is coming through around 290-300 but there is a little component, mostly of local windswell, that is coming through a little more westerly…right around 275-285…which is a much better angle for spots around SB.
Waves
Sizewise, since the swell is a little bigger and better angled, we can expect a few rideable waves starting to sneak in on the lower tides. Overall the average spots will be in the knee-high to knee-high+ range. Standout breaks, as you move closer to Ventura, will be in the knee-waist high range. It will feel mostly like weak/gutless windswell lines, but hey it is something to ride.
Winds
Winds may be an issue…looks like there is a chance at some funky westerly flow that could spin up for the morning. Generally winds should be light/variable, particularly if your spot has some protection but watch for that morning bump. NW winds around 10-15 knots will build through by the afternoon.
