Today

Patchy, thick fog this PM with still decent size swell mix. Light crumble/bump on it but manageable

Dawn to 10AM: Slow fading S swell, lingering NW pulse, is still running waist to shoulder high at better summer and combo breaks this morning. Top SSW and combo breaks hit head high. Early tide push a good window but fun all morning. Pathcy, thick fog.

Afternoon Outlook: Gradually easing surf as both swells trend down. Still some peaky corners at the combo beachbreaks. Some onshore W wind crumble to light bump, but it should be plenty manageable/surfable.
