Today

Good mix of overlapping southerly swells continues - overhead at the better breaks & clean.

Dawn-10am: Mix of older, mid period S swell that will be fading and new, very long period energy out of the SSW building slowly. Good size on local buoys and surf height close to Tuesday with shoulder-head high+ surf at the decent spots and sets running 1-2' overhead at times at standout breaks. Groomed under breezy offshore wind/ENE trades.

Afternoon Outlook: Holding surf. The new SSW swell won't be very tall but will have some power to it when the sets show. Trades continue.
