Fun (to locally good size) tropical swell continues. Manageable PM lump, points look best.

Afternoon Outlook: Swell direction trends more S-SSW and size will be close to end of day Sunday (chest-head high for many, top spots hit overhead at times). Light westerly wind for mellow texture either side of Dume -- looks lumpiest around Topanga zone. Expect more texture to show out west mid-PM, and the near 5' high tide also adds to the overall mushiness of the surf. Evening window worth watching, especially surfing the points as the tide comes down.
