Why does this always have to happen on 3 day weekends?

Finally free all weekend, and they are predicting surf up to 10 feet... :mad:

Damn... Well, for everyone else, here's the other fishing areas as well.... Sounds like my DP trip might have to wait.

You should be good to go, if you go on sunday let me know, need to still watch the swell though, if you go to Ventura, careful around the south end coming and going....

because that's scripps, which is still sheltered by the point. its a south swell, the beaches pointing south west will get hammered, like the one off palomar st/ave, but they will get broken up by the point, go over super deep water in the canyon, disperse, try to regain momentum and cap over about 4.5ft. the launch will probably be around 3ft at times and it will be a little choppy out there. i say its doable.

all the other reports are for torry pines to salt creek and above. open beaches facing the ocean. i bet blacks will look semi normal.
