Today

Still plenty of size off fading swell, largest in the morning. Lightest winds then too.

Dawn-10am: Fading SSW swell, along with a little lingering NW swell, still has widespread surf running waist-chest high in the morning with better breaks far north couty going head-high. Slow fade as the day goes on.

Variable to light ons S wind early for a mostly clean start. Light W wind crumble comes up mid-morning.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate onshore lump in the afternoon. Manageable but more chatter then the past couple of days.

If you are looking for the PB Drive cams, they are now available here.
