PR NW Forecast of 1/15/09 PM

Gotta wait a few more days but it looks like the swells will finally be switching from the ENE to something with more of a NW orientation which means real swell on my turf. My reefs breaks and winds handle the W to NNE swells better given the same swell size on the ENE and prevailing easterlies. Still no o/h surf in the forecast... we need a big ass storm up in the States! Meanwhile, tomorrow is a good day for some snorkeling.
