Forecast from Surflies: Combination of Swells -- Bouts of Onshore Winds Friday and Saturday, October 4th-5th: 3-4’ surf at better combo exposures, plus sets at the best of those breaks.

"Prime season for combo swell in California, with this week delivering more Southern Hemisphere swell and NW swell. Generally a good time for conditions as well, but the next few days are a little dicey in that department."
