Today

Small SE/ESE swell mix with W trending to SW winds. Loggable and cleanest early.

Dawn to Midday: Expecting a small but rideable shot of SE/ESE swell but conditions are not ideal. Enough surf for the logs, but overall the trend has been down in size, knee-thigh high. Cleanest surf early while winds are fairly light W, but there will be a bit of texture/ruffle on it.

Afternoon Outlook: SSW/SW winds build adding more texture to the small surf.
