Chris Borg •Today
Good size & peakier at the beachbreaks off easing swell mix. Clean AM, manageable PM bump.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Down from Saturday, but chest-head high waves still easy to find, while better spots are in the head-high to overhead range and standouts are consistently overhead. More peaks and corners at the beachbreaks with less size/period from the SSW & more windswell. Morning conditions clean on the dropping tide.
Afternoon Outlook: Waves slowly ease. Early PM an option as the tide rebuilds, just expect a little crumble as W/SW onshores pick up. Moderate onshores by mid PM.
