Today

Still plenty of fun surf left off fading swell, largest this morning. Light wind/clean AM, bump PM.

Dawn-10am: Fading SSW swell, along with a little lingering NW swell, still has widespread surf running waist-chest high in the morning with better summer breaks up to head-high. Slow fade as the day goes on.

Light wind early for a mostly clean start. Light W wind crumble comes up mid-morning.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate onshore lump in the afternoon. Manageable but more chatter than the past couple of days. Surf slowly eases. Very full tide this evening slows things down, esp reefs.

If you are looking for the PB Drive cams, they are now available here.
