Today

Powerful, pumping SSW swell continues, Most beachbreaks walled and drifty, spots w/structure best.

Dawn-10am: Very solid surf continues, close in size to yesterday (dependent on the specific spot's preference for swell period, some breaks are bigger/better, while others a little smaller).

Overhead to well overhead surf continues, while good spots are 2x overhead. Standout breaks see some sets again pushing 15' faces. Protected and/or structured spots will generally be the call. Mostly clean AM w/ minor SE crumble.

Afternoon Outlook: More SW wind lump in the PM. Size stays large.
