Solid E swell followed by a large S swell. There won’t be a shortage of waves this week.

There’s not much action this weekend but next week will more than make up for it with a solid E swell followed by a large S swell.

A S swell and decent winds will bring decent options for the next few days.

A smaller E swell will continue into the new week and with winds remaining mostly offshore there'll be waves to be had.
