Today

Enough to push a big board but lackluster overall. Target the midday incoming for best of it.

Dawn-Midday: Area buoys aren't showing much...just a bit of easterly swell and that'll offer a few weak waves in the 1-2' range at most breaks. Winds are SSE/SE at dawn so we are already getting some texture and bump on it. SE to ESE winds persist through the morning but the window with the lower/incoming tide later AM through midday probably offers the best window to try to find something.

Afternoon Outlook: Small surf and onshore winds mean generally poor surf for the afternoon.
