SURF REPORT
Wuddup, this is davO with the report for Tuesday morning at 6:30am.
SURF:
4-5 ft. - shoulder to head high with occasional 6 ft. and poor+ conditions.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Semi-choppy, but workable lines coming through with sets in the overhead range. Lots of fog-but it still looks fairly consistent. May slow down with the near 5' high tide at around noon.

WEATHER:
Overcast and foggy with onshore winds.
SANTA CRUZ'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
Our WNW swell continues to fade into the day. Expect mostly shoulder to head high waves with sets going a couple of feet overhead at the more exposed spots. Conditions are choppy with onshore winds in the 5-10kt. range all day. It's going to be a bit on the soft side throughout the morning with a high tide of nearly 5' at around noon. Should see a bit of improvement as the tide backs out into the evening.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
TUESDAY: WNW swell continues to backslide but still fun size. Shoulder-head high sets for good breaks with standouts seeing some overhead sets by a couple feet. Watch for the deep high tide around noon.

Winds: Light NW winds early, building NW flow around 10kts+ in the afternoon.

Save The Waves Coalition recently announced a groundbreaking new event, "The Value of Waves Roundtable," taking place Friday, December 5th in Half Moon Bay. The first-ever event will be at brand-new Oceano Hotel & Spa at Pillar Point Harbor, in the shadow of the word-famous big-wave break "Mavericks."

Making the Drop - self-actualization through surfing, is a service combining world class surfing instruction and life coaching launched by Santa Cruz based surfer and coach Barry Green. The vision for Making the Drop is to support clients in developing the capacity and skill to see themselves and the world in a new light through the practice of surfing. While almost any activity or pursuit can serve as a "practice" for personal development and growth, surfing is in a class all by itself. It is pure improvisation, an open-ended invitation to be in the moment, transcend limitations and glide through life with more grace, style, poise and power. Visit http://www.makingthedrop.com for more info to set up an initial consultation today.
