Swell Magnet Surf Forecast

Thursday morning looks a hair smaller and less consistent but top West facing beaches will still be rifling in some ass kicker sets that will go way overhead. The beach breaks may be doable at high tide, but if it get's as big as we think, you'll be hard pressed to dig up a corner, (with such a long interval swell), as the tide drops.

The conditions should be great as as the high pressure strengthens and winds out of the NNE jump up to 6-10 MPH at most spots while the beaches that are below the passes and canyons see some 15-30 MPH plus gusts. Look for a high air temp of 71 degrees.

Friday morning should take another dip in size with the top breaks going shoulder high to head high plus, (possibly some overhead sets still roaming the plains for the best West facing beaches). The sets will be less consistent, and the wave size will drop all over, so the tides will become a more relevant issue for the smaller spots.

The conditions will be good again with winds continuing out of the NNE at 6-12 MPH through the morning and then we'll see light breezes out of the West until sundown. Look for a high air temp of 73 degrees.

Saturday morning (just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water) another, possibly even stronger swell will roar into town and build in through day. Even at first light it should be PUMPING. The deep water, canyon spots will be DOH plus by days end.

The beach breaks will likely be nothing more than a Navy Seal exercise, but keep in mind that there is a "Biggest Wave of the Winter Contest" which runs from Dec. 1 and continues through March 31 and the wave can be ridden anywhere from Palos Verdes, on the south, and D and W Jetty in El Segundo, on the north.. The winner gets a cool $1000.00 clams and bragging rights, so if you're going to man up, bring your photo guy!

By Sunday morning looks be another mack daddy of a day with continued DOH plus bombs out of the NW for the premiere breaks. Be sure too check the updated forecast on Thursday.

The conditions should improve again as another blast of offshore winds moves in for the AM session and blow in the double digit range all day long. Look for a high of 61 degrees.
