Today

Slow fading but still punchy surf as swell eases, most size in the AM. Best winds then too.

Dawn-10AM: Slow fading SSW swell, along with a little NW swell, is still good for head high+ waves at lots of spots in the morning, while better breaks are overhead. Surf will gradually dip during the back half of the day as the SSW swell starts to taper off.

Light ESE shifting SE winds in the morning for a clean start and then slight crumble by mid-AM.

PM Outlook: Low-end moderate S flow mid afternoon. Winds expected to ease later afternoon/evening. Looks nice either side of Dume.
