Surf Forecast Discussion

This week in surf forecast - posted Sept 1st, 2010
In short: Swell builds today (Thurs) with well overhead sets by dark...N-ENE wind. Tomorrow -overhead->double overhead+ STRONG surf from Hurricane Earl. Wind increases from the NE as the day wears on. Swell fades Friday with head high+ surf early and dropping conditions through the day...clean with N-NW wind. Weekend should see the possibility of leftovers from the NE as Earl pulls well away from the area.
