Today

Smaller but still somewhat fun surf off easing swell, most size this morning. Cleanest this AM. Fog

Dawn-10 AM: Fading WNW swell is still good for waist to shoulder high waves, a little jumbled but also at least somewhat peaky. Well exposed areas to the north and south of Monterrey continue to pull in fun to mid size Southern Hemi swell. Mostly clean with light wind but patchy, thich fog.

Afternoon Outlook: Gradually easing surf as wind picks up for bumpy and lower-quality conditions.
