Tony, Bryn, & Chris

THANKS for keeping us up to date - and posting the photos.
Crummy updates from these Yanks! If it wasn't for you guys
and Greybeard (Randall who just happened to be there
shooting photos for fun) we wouldn't know what was happening.

Maybe I'll meet up with you guys in NZ 2009 8)

Regards, Walt

URF:
Inconsistent with occasional 3 ft. and poor-fair conditions.

AM REPORT: Tide kinda hurting it, but may get better once it drops out some. Inconsistent clean sets.

WEATHER:
Clear skies with a NE wind around 10kts.
SANTA CRUZ'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
NW windswell and groundswell continues today with some chest high sets sneaking in at better exposures. Conditions are fair-good with offshore flow. High tide hurting most locations but should get better in the late morning. FORECAST SUMMARY:
SATURDAY: NW swell (290-300) builds through the day, with the largest waves on tap over the afternoon. Look for many breaks to see shoulder-head high waves fill in by the early afternoon, with sets running a couple feet+ overhead at standouts.

Conditions: Clear and cold with NE to E wind through the morning hours. Afternoon winds shift light NW.
CURRENT WEATHER:
Last update at 11:53AM
WIND: North @ 0.0kts
AIR/WATER: 27°-55°/54°-56°
SUNRISE/SET 7:20 AM/5:12 PM
