Today

Weak SSW swell in the knee-thigh high range with lighter WSW winds early. OK for the floaty boards.

Dawn to Midday: A frontal boundary sags into the area with leftover southerly swell and rideable surf with a window of favorable/decent conditions at E facers through the morning. It'll be shorter period and on the weaker end of the spectrum, but worth considering given the lack of surf before and after this.

Afternoon Outlook: SW/SSW winds develop and the surf eases. If you really want to find something to ride on a longboard you still could, it just won't be as good as the morning.
