Matt Kibby •Today
Head high to overhead tropical swell from Elida continues. Piers/jetties your best bet this AM.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Swell direction trends more S-SSW with size head high for many zones, top spots a foot or two overhead. Need some structure to find a decent corner this morning, both for shape and some shelter from the S wind. Expect that crumble to stick around through mid-AM.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds fairly steady. Moderate WSW onshores this afternoon for lumpy conditions from the opposite direction.
