9:55 am: There is still plenty of swell as we head toward mid day. The groundswell readings on the local buoy are dropping off, but there is still plenty of swell. More like windswell but waves non the less. It’s not very clean and in fact getitng a little more lump and chop to it as the wind is onshore and forecast to increase. Overall looks like plenty of waves to be had if you do not mind the unorganizedness of it all….

1:45 pm: Late morning and afternoon photos are up and posted in box #2 taken about 10:15 am at 10th Street and then again this afternoon from the N side of the pier. You can see we have plenty of swell for your sunday afternoon. it’s a little mixed up but not much so. There are some chest high set waves at times. Looks like it could be fun and the swell should hold and continue all the way to and past dark tonight….
