According to Surfline, "Southern California will see a modest to fun-size mix of southwest southern hemisphere swell, and a touch of south-southeast swell from former hurricane Genevieve over the weekend.."



Saturday, August 22nd: 2-3’ waves for decent summer spots, magnets 4′. Light AM winds
SW/SSW swell (220-205) and NW windswell ease as small S swell from Genevieve creeps up (mainly in the afternoon). Well exposed spots of LA see waist-high surf and the occasional + sets. Light/variable winds early trend onshore from the S through the morning. Afternoon wind is light+ to locally moderate S-SSW most areas, then the southerly flow looks to ease in the evening. Surf is on the swampy side when the tide hits a deep high of about 5′ mid day.

Sunday, August 23rd: 2-3’ surf at good southerly exposures, 4′ top breaks. AM winds are light.
Old SW/SSW swell (220-205) and NW windswell mix tapers off, as steep, selective and modest scale pulse of tropical swell from Genevieve peaks. Better exposures in northern LA are running thigh-waist high+. Light/variable winds most of the morning, shift to light+/locally more afternoon onshores. Evening winds look to ease. Waves are bogged down when as early afternoon high tide peaks at 5’+.




Meet Lou Porter. A California Native, who loves the beach, surfing and sharing her stories and experiences everyone she encounters. Lou has been coming to Topanga Beach, just north of Los Angeles for years. She takes photos and videos of people surfing and posts them to Instagram and Facebook. Although not a surfer herself she has become a staple in many people's daily routines greeting them as they go in and out to surf.

Lou is committed, she follows the surf charts and on days when there is surf, makes her way from Chatsworth to the beach, a 20 mile commute over the Santa Monica mountains but when the surf is up Lou is there.

A couple of us surfers want to support Lou to get her an upgrade. We are looking to get people from the community to pool together to get her a new camera with a zoom and tripod, to support her. Most of all we want to share our appreciation and enthusiasm for her dedication to the beaches we surf at most.
