Today

Fun surf off holding SSW swell. Morning winds are light, afternoon onshores manageable.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Continued long-period SSW swell and small NW swell for mainly waist-chest-shoulder high zone waves at well exposed southerly breaks, while standouts see better sets, after the early AM negative low tide rises for a while. Winds are light/variable
