Today

Similar size as yesterday. Good run of well aimed Southern Hemi. More onshores for the afternoon.

Afternoon Outlook: SW swell generally holds mid day, as NW windswell pulses up a bit, for a few rideable peaks at the right sandbars. Waves mainly running in the chest high to head high+ range, with top combo breaks seeing better sets. Size dips as SW swell slowly eases back half of the day. SW onshores go moderate+ for a building bump then.
