⏰ On shift 0600 tomorrow — dawn's out, this is the break-window call
An 18–19s S/SSW groundswell is building across every buoy — Wavecast calls it chest+ by Wednesday. Dawn would've been glassy but you're on shift; the good news is the mid-shift break (roughly 0700–1430) still catches it clean, and the rising tide during the break is actually a better fit for Tippers than a dawn outgoing tide would've been. Go early in the window — wind's still light (5mph) before the sea breeze builds past 10mph around 11am.
Data from pull Tue Jul 7, ~8:05pm PDT · buoys + NOAA + NWS + Open-Meteo + Wavecast (published Tue Jul 7). Surfline unreachable this run (Chrome timeout) — see notes.
Scored for the mid-shift break window (9:30–10:30am), not dawn — the only window the 0600 shift leaves open. Ponto runs close behind Tippers; reef-over-beach-break is the tiebreak.
Days to Watch
Thu Jul 9 (off) — Wavecast's own call: "the day most likely to see occasional head high pluses" as a secondary southern-hemi swell stacks on top of tonight's. Windansea would be firing on this swell too, but it's dawn-only and doesn't fit tomorrow's shift — worth it Thursday morning instead when there's no schedule conflict.
