Mon Nov 2 · assumed work day (Nov not on roster/calendar) · 9:00–10:30am · 7'2" Lost Crowd Killer
2nd option: Tippers · 9:00–10:30am · 7'2" Crowd Killer — kelp grooms it and it holds the tide better; lost on a jumbled reef + Monday pack
Steady SSW ~3–4ft @ 15s (~205°) crossed up by a fading W windswell = peaky beachbreaks, chest-to-head high (Surfline). Offshore E from dawn, calm by 10am, light W after noon. Tide still fat: offset now +1.6ft, so the only daylight low is 4.3ft actual at 9:49am (5.8ft at 4:46am, 6.3ft at 3:23pm). Fun, softer peaks, not barrels. Fits an 0600 shift's mid-shift surf break. Water ~74°F — springsuit.
Data pulled Sun Nov 1 ~5:40pm PST (evening run) · buoys + NOAA tides (+ measured offset) + NWS + Open-Meteo + Surfline (logged in); Wavecast not fetched
Barrel Watch
—
No barrel setups tomorrow: the SSW recipe (Ponto N-jetty, Seaside/Tabletops) and combo recipe (Oceanside Harbor bars, Grandview/D St) are on, but they need low-to-mid tide and the lowest daylight water is 4.3ft actual.

All three North County spots are 🟡: wind, angle and period pass, tide doesn't. Ponto wins the tiebreak (closer, less crowded than Tippers).
