Today

Mid-sized surf as SSW swell tops out. Stays clean for initial tide push after drained start.

Dawn-10am: Decent size all day with waist-chest high surf running for average zones. Better breaks get to head-high with standouts overhead at times. Nothing crazy by recent standards, but a pretty fun day of waves for most skill levels. The downside is it's a wait on the better sets. A little drained for the dawn patrol, shape improves on the tide push, and winds look favorable for the mid-AM window.

Afternoon Outlook: Lumpy afternoon with moderate to breezy westerly onshores.
