    Looks like this week can have some rideable conditions with winds under 10 knots. Right spots should have some good conditions and nice size. Nice period too!
    I am interested in seeing how the sandbars hold up to the longer period and N swell-been a long time.

    short period is more peaky and wedged up, but less closed out on beachies

    long period is lined up with a longer interval between sets and waves. most of the time, unless there is a lot of angle, the long lines close out with the occaisonal shoulder if you are in the right spot.
    its better for a reef (not for us), or a breakwall/jetty to form peaks.
