Maybe the King of Surf Forecasting Friday night update will change things because their Wed forecast is still showing short period dinky swell for next Wed/Thu with surf 2-3 ft.

Swell Info's take is a little different.
Wed, Mar 5, 2014: 3-5 ft. Chest to shoulder high WNW long period swell. Clean in the morning with ENE winds 10-15mph. Semi glassy/semi bumpy conditions for the afternoon with the winds shifting NW less than 5mph.

Thu, Mar 6, 2014: 3-5 ft. Stomach to shoulder high mix of SW long period swell and WNW ground swell with occasional head sets. Clean in the morning with NE winds 10-15mph. Semi glassy/semi bumpy conditions for the afternoon with the winds shifting WNW less than 5mph.
