Jax Richards •Today
Pumping surf builds through the day, strongest late - bigger than spot/model forecasts show.
Afternoon Outlook: Pumping surf as long-period SSW swell builds to a peak this afternoon/evening - though some spots have slowed down a tad with the high tide.

Size has about peaked this evening with similar size expected Monday. Clean conditions continue.
