Today

Mellow surf this afternoon w/ manageable teture. Evening window in play for high tide spots.

PM Outlook: Mellow Southern Hemi mix for one of the smaller days in a while. Knee-waist high surf is the best most spots pull in, a little larger at times when the NW windswell crosses things up just right.

Mellow PM texture, gets a little worse through mid-PM but doesn't keep you out. Mind the deep high tide if you aim for the evening window.
