Today

Lully SSW swell tops out but not much NW windswell. Clean conditions for the morning tide push.

Dawn-10am: Ok size all day with waist-chest high surf running for average zones. Better breaks are in the head-high range.

Drained for the dawn patrol, shape improves on the tide push, and winds look favorable for the mid-AM window.

Afternoon Outlook: Lumpy afternoon with moderate to breezy westerly onshores.
