This actually overperformed mid-day. Models mised this one but actual readings were around 4.5ft@10s. Solid overperformance on this one!
Hope y’all got a few. Good day!
Notes: Looks fun!
Best board: groveler or longboard or daily driver

Focus on those last few rows in the above table.
Some reinforcing swell shows up around mid-afternoon. This has moved around a little, so I’m tempering my expectations as of right now. It’s worth a look late day, but the wind isn’t looking too great.
Notes: This could overperform (or underperform). Check end of day but have low expectations.
The Weekend of 2/28-3/01
Flat.
Looking Ahead
Watching for something early next week. I’ll update this over the weekend.
