READ THE INDIVIDUAL SWELLS
Offshore component height (Hs), not surf-face height. Directions are where waves come from. Component heights do not add together.
No cached swell partitions for this hour. A combined wave forecast does not establish separate swells.
Tide predictions: Los Angeles, 61 km reference; retrieved Thu Oct 22, 2:00pm. Station predictions can differ locally.
This page reads the shared cache first. Refresh requests only this spot’s existing regional samples.
The famous right point largely lost to harbor construction, preserved here as a historical surf landmark.
This is a memory marker and geographic reference, not a claim of a living modern lineup.
Before paddling out: Harbor traffic and no expectation of the original wave.

THE FIELD GUIDE / Killer Dana (historical)
The catalogue’s reported preference for Killer Dana (historical) is “S–W”. Compare that description with each component’s incoming direction and period. An offshore swell number is a reference; the local wave still depends on the actual shoreline, bottom and tide.
Reported tide preference: Low–mid. Follow the named NOAA station and its trend through your intended session, then inspect the entry and exit at the beach. A station prediction is not a water-level sensor at this takeoff.
Catalogue bottom: Rock / reef. Reported difficulty: Historical. Watch several sets before choosing where to enter, keep clear of riders, and compare the actual wave with your ability and equipment.
Record the section you actually surfed, the time, incoming swell direction and period, wind and tide trend. Add what the wave did: connected sections, closeouts, drift or exposed obstacles. Comparing that observation with the same model next time is more useful than treating one colored number as the whole session.
