Largest swell peaks late week/over weekend from Central America to California
Southern California standouts go head-high-plus, see decent conditions through weekend
If you spend your time window-shopping warm-water waves via Surfline’s cams (Puerto Escondido, anyone?), chances are you’ve seen south swell in the water for the first time in a long time. Right on cue for the holiday, a run of Southern Hemisphere swell is in the water that’s sending waves all the way from Peru to Alaska, hitting everywhere in between. This particular run will be highlighted by solid barrels at Puerto Escondido on Friday and Saturday, and high-performance sessions at standout SoCal spots this weekend — not to mention days of rippable surf at the usual spring/summer destinations.
