Santa Cruz Surf Forecast

Today

Waist-shoulder high waves for better spots this AM, looks fun for smaller wave gear. Glassy start.

Afternoon Outlook: Mainly easing SSW swell for widespread knee-waist high surf, while best exposures hit chest-head high+. Shape's on the softer side, and gets mushier as the tide pushes to a 5'+ high.

Wind at least stays down through the end of the day, so if you can find a spot able to handle the tide you'll be in business.
