    The forecast only speaks of a S/SE Medium period swell. With as much push/wind as we have got from the NE/ENE, can we expect to see some bit of a combo thing going on?

    No. While there may be periods of NE wind, most of the wind fetch is coming from the south.

    true enough. I just got back from spot check . Winds were NOT when i just checked it. Only Waist/chest wind swell with no base to it. I thought there might have been more to it, but it would be barely knee high by am, with wind forecast offshore/side shore. Hope it fills in the next 8 hours
