Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Surf up a notch as more swell moves in. S winds stay on the lighter side, morning is cleanest.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Mix of mid-period WNW swell persists, as some new S swell joins in, for thigh-waist-stomach high waves in the morning, while focal points see better sets on morning tide push. Very light S winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf edges up as swell slowly rises. Light+ SSW in the afternoon. Mid afternoon high tide slows tide sensitive spots, then ebbing tide later afternoon/evening helps.

Cowells Surf Guide
Cowell's Beach is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf. All the energy pulsing around Lighthouse Point mellows out by the time it gets to Cowell's, and the result is a long, gentle, easy wave that breaks for a very long time. Cowell's is one of the most crowded surf spots in Santa Cruz, but as most of the surfers are beginners, there is little animosity. Most of the people at Cowell's are there to learn and have fun and have a good time.
