The stationary trade belt across our E/NE swell window is a beauty, and it’s going to be a source of quality surf for quite some time.

We’ve got some more south swell due over the coming days, generated by the parent low to the front that whipped up today’s pulse.

No major changes for the weekend: get in early Saturday as we’re looking at diminishing wave heights across both days.
