New SW swell fills in more on Friday and it looks like it will be pretty fun for the exposed breaks throughout the day.
The SW’er (215-220) will be showing the strongest through the afternoon but it will have fun waves starting to roll through during the dawn patrol.
Most exposed breaks will be in the waist-shoulder high range while the standout spots, mostly the combo beach breaks, will have head high sets…and maybe a few bigger ones before sundown.
Breaks around Cabo and the East Cape will be a bit more protected from the full energy of the swell. Look for those spots to see surf in the knee-chest high range with a few bigger sets lurking around the best breaks.
Sets for all areas will be a bit inconsistent but worth the wait.
Winds look on the light side…staying out of the NW around 10-15 knots through the afternoon and lighter through the morning.
I think the points/reefs will be the best call on Friday. They will be smaller but cleaner…the beach breaks will be ok but come on, you really come to Baja to surf a point/reef.
This is a good day to get some driving under your belt to get into position for the incoming swell since it is just going to get bigger as we head into the weekend. You should be able to see where the swell is hitting/filling in through the morning, find a spot that looks good and get ready to get some surf.

Monday in Baja Sur – More S-SW fun
Monday will be a fun surf day in Baja Sur.
We will have a mix of S-SW swell (180-210) and a touch of local windswell.
Most spots, both on the Pacific Side and the Tip, will be around waist-chest high with some occasionally bigger sets. Standout Pacific side spots will be seeing some inconsistent shoulder-head high sets.
Conditions should be good throughout the region. Winds will start off light in the morning and then increase out of the WNW around 10-15 knots by the afternoon. It should stay light enough throughout the day to be surfable at most of the exposed points…particularly on the inside sections.
Again I don’t think that it will be worth a ton of driving on Monday, but if you are close to a decent spot I would definitely take the time to check it…(you just don’t want to be spending 2+ hours getting to a break for the same chest high surf that you just left.)
I think your best bet is to find a well-exposed point/reef, aim for the dawn-patrol or wait until the tide-push. You should probably sneak your small wave board into the quiver as well…just so you can make the most of the semi-inconsistent sets and maybe pick off a couple of the smaller waves too.
