Today

Solid surf from Manhattan north but beachbreaks overloaded & largely closed out. Worth traveling.

Dawn-10AM: Large, long-period SSW swell builds all day. The mix of size and long period will mean very few makeable sections or rideable waves (beyond straight handers) for most of the South Bay. Head high to overhead sets develop through the day.

Structured areas will provide the best opportunity for shapely waves on this powerful swell. Clean w/ light S wind much of the AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Mellow W PM sea breeze. Top spots north of Manhattan running a few feet overhead.

With more N in the swell, a few daredevils will raise the stakes by taking off at a spot called Truck Drivers, a few hundred yards behind the main peak. Another lovely facet is the rip -- on large swells it pulls you toward the pocket and the rocks. The place really doesn't wake up until it's over six-feet. Read more
