SURF REPORT
Patchy fog..., this is David with the report for Monday afternoon at 1:10pm.
SURF:
4-5 ft. - shoulder to head high with occasional 6 ft. and fair+ conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Seeing some fun waves this afternoon with just light onshore winds and patchy fog. Surf is in the waist-shoulder-head high range on average with some overhead sets at times for standout NW breaks. Tide is dropping for a few faster, more top to bottom corners.

This morning's dawn patrol: Thick, dense fog.....cant see anything. Expect clean shoulder-head high+ waves with larger sets.

* No footage today due to the fog*

WEATHER:
Light/variable onshore winds with patchy fog.
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
DENSE FOG making things impossible to see out there right now. A good dose of NW swell is on the buoys this morning so expect surf in the shoulder-head high range for lots of spot, with standout NW breaks seeing some sets go a couple feet+ overhead at times. Winds are light so surface conditions should be clean and the tide hits a 5.3' high at 10am.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
TUESDAY: A near 6’ high tide around 11AM will be an issue through the mid-morning. WNW swell slowly fades with surf in the waist-shoulder-head high range and some larger sets for standout NW breaks.
Wind: Light/variable to light offshore wind early, turning W to around 10kts for the afternoon.
