Report: Onshore NE winds and sloppy E-ENE windswell.
Prediction: Winds are predicted to slowly rotate around to the N-NNW as the day goes on, so we may see a cleanup/semi-cleanup late-day, depending on the local coastline angle and exposure to the winds.
Extended Forecast: Wave heights are predicted to drop off a notch or so but the period is predicted to lengthen a bit for Friday AM as the low pushes off the coast. Winds are predicted to come around more NNW-NW for Friday, so SE-ESE-facing breaks should see clean conditions, with more East-facing breaks potentially having side-offshore texture.
Weekend Outlook: Offshore/semi-offshore winds (between WNW and NNW) are predicted for the weekend, but minimal swell is on the charts; maybe a little leftover background bump early Saturday, but not all that much else.
