Hugh McDowell •Today
Enough swell for small to fun surf at the south exposed breaks. Clean all day.
There's not a lot showing on the forecast numbers, but this south swell has been over-delivering and there's still a bit more on the buoys than forecast, with another little pulse of long period stuff expected to fill in later through the day.
It's not big, but there's chest high sets at the south magnets. Smaller elsewhere, but rideable on bigger boards. Similar size all day.
All day offshores for clean conditions.
