Matt Kibby •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.
