Today

Easing but still solid surf, strongest on the early AM tide push. Clean AM, light crumble PM.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Long period S Southern Hemi swell is down a peg from Wednesday's peak, but still pumping head high to 1-2' overhead waves into decent exposures, while standouts are up to a few feet overhead. Light/variable early AM wind, shifts to a light S sea breeze by mid morning.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf will slowly taper off during the back half of the day but there's still plenty of size. Some crumble on it with WSW wind but very manageable with potential for evening glass off.

The Save The Waves Film Festival returns to Santa Cruz on June 12th at the Rio Theater. More info and tix: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/save-the-waves-film-festival-santa-cruz-ca-tickets-1989431854230

Mitchell's Cove Surf Guide

Mitchell's Cove is a right point that loves a low tide and a winter swell in the overhead to double-overhead range. When Mitchell's is firing, it is one of the better right points on the California coast. This place is fickle and finicky, but it can blow your mind on the right day.
