Let's get into the surf report with this quick
preview from the podcast, Friday at Ocean Beach.
This morning, it's looking fair with waves around
2 to 3 feet. The swell is consistent, holding
steady until noon when it bumps up to 2 to 4
feet. Winds are sideshore at 5 miles per hour,
shifting to onshore by 1 p .m. at 7 miles per
hour, adding some shock to the surface. Best
time to ride is at 9 a .m. with a 2 -foot incoming
mid -tide when the west swell is 3 feet at 12
seconds and the side shore wind is 4 mile per
hour. The first low tide on Friday will be 0
foot at 7 a .m. followed by a 5 -foot high tide
at 1 .30. The nearshore buoy in San Francisco
Bar reads 57 degrees for the water temperature.
Conditions start fair with waves at 2 to 4 feet,
but choppy conditions develop by morning. A steady
increase in swell brings 3 to 5 foot waves by
afternoon, though winds shift onshore, making
for challenging surf. Sunday sees cleaner conditions
with 4 to 7 foot waves, offering the best surf
of the period before fading into Monday's fair,
but choppy 4 to 6 foot sets. You can catch full
