Out of the North Pacific conditions will be pretty flat, just a little trade swell wrap expected. Models are showing a new swell for Friday.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
