Today

Fun pulse of tropical S swell from Elida builds all day today. Biggest/best in the far north county

Dawn to 10:00AM: Morning starts off mainly waist to shoulder high at far north county breaks, then S tropical swell builds through the day. Light S winds in the AM for fairly clean conditions.

Afternoon Outlook: Punchy tropical swell tops out over the back half of the day. With the straight S direction it bypasses many spots, but for the far north county breaks that do pick it up go shoulder-head high+. Low-end moderate W winds.

Check this incoming for more on what we're thinking.
