10:00 am: New mid morning photos are up box #2 and goodness some of the swell is filling in nicely at some spots. Other spots not so much. Light sideonshores so not super clean but not too choppy eirther. Overall looks like a fun surf day with some easily chest high set waves at times, with some waves seen bigger than that….
.
2:15 pm: Oh the surf looks considerably smaller at the lower tide. Not sure what happened but probably much of th more northerly swell here is going by us to the south. We heard it’s bigger down there. So smaller than the text report above, written earlier. We will see if there are changes once again and if we get a push as the tide pushes in…..

7:05 pm: New evening photos are up box #3 and you can see we have sizable waves for your Saturday evening surf check. Lots of swell with some shoulder high or so waves pushing through! Beatiful weather with still not cold water. And looks like more swell for tomorrow… over and out..
