Tim Kent •Today
Light+ SE winds this PM add texture. Minor swell/windswell mix. Knee-thigh high log waves at best.
Midday: Minor weak windswell/swell mix with light E/ESE winds under a stalled front at lunch. Surf is knee to maybe thigh high and gutless. Not much to work with, and conditions are still textured.
Afternoon Outlook: Gentle onshore E/SE winds and lightly textured conditions, with continued small crumbly surf. Just enough to log but not too worthwhile.
