Chris Borg •Today
Easing, small & marginally longboardable surf today as tide pushes in mid/late AM. Light AM winds.
Just a small mix of shorter-period NW swell leftovers and a touch of very inconsistent longer-period energy. Most spots and drained and dumpy to start, improving as the tide pushes in through the late morning for thigh-high or smaller surf. Clean in the morning with light/variable wind. Low-end moderate onshore SW-W wind in the afternoon
