More swell is lining up for Southern California thanks to Hurricane Norbert. Although the rest of the state and the Pacific Northwest will miss out on the Norbert swell, a nice looking NW swell with clean conditions is lining up in the not too distant future!

Regional Outlook
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
We saw a good size NW wind/groundswell mix on Friday. Most spots were pretty sloppy and mixed up along with steady onshore wind (especially in the afternoon), although smaller and cleaner some of the more protected and southern spots saw fun surf.

BRIEF OUTLOOK:
NW windswell mix will be fading through the weekend. A cleaner and longer period NW groundswell will move in for early next week, with clean conditions and offshore winds to go with it.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
We saw primarily saw NW wind/groundswell mix today, along with some leftover SW Southern Hemi swell. The better exposed breaks picked up waist high surf, while top NW spots saw chest-shoulder high+ sets. Conditions were variable throughout the region.

BRIEF OUTLOOK:
NW windswell mix will build into Saturday, along with generally sloppy conditions, before dropping off Saturday. A nice size swell from Hurricane Norbert will move into the select SE exposed breaks...
