Thursday will be a surf day...but it may get a bit breezy in the afternoon.
New S swell starts to move into Baja Sur on Thursday and mix with our current (but inconsistent) SW swell, local windswell, and some remnant S-SW energy still lurking around in the background.
In general it will start off a bit slow in the morning. Most breaks will continue to run in the waist-chest high range while the standout combo spots and really good S-SW facing breaks see some inconsistent bigger sets.
Look for that new S swell to fill in more as we move through the afternoon...eventually getting the exposed areas (Particularly around the Tip) into more consistent chest-shoulder high sets along with a few bigger waves sneaking through at times.
Winds look like they start off mostly clean with light and variable morning conditions along both the Tip and the Pacific Side. By the afternoon Pacific Side spots will have NW winds around 10-15+ knots...the tip will have some W bump around the same speed. East Cape areas will get a bit of the weird eddy off the tip and will have some variable S bump (but under 10 knots) by the afternoon.
Get to the S facing spots if you can...don't expect a ton of waves in the morning but it will be worth it to be in position as the swell starts to peak during the afternoon and into Friday.

Friday’s Surf in Baja Sur – S swell fun!
New S swell starts filling in on Friday (eventually peaking on Saturday). Look for fun playful surf at most exposed breaks both on the Pacific side and on the Tip.
Most breaks will start off around chest high+ through the morning. Standout spots may be slightly bigger.
Look for more and more size to arrive as we head into the afternoon. Top spots will have some inconsistent head high sets mixing in before sundown.
My advice is pretty redundant…there are waves, you are in Baja, go surf. Personally I would hit up a nice long point break but that is just personal preference.
