Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Waves getting fun again as fresh swell moves in, most size in the PM. Winds remain fairly light.
PM Outlook: A new round of SSW swell will edge up during the day, setting up chest-shoulder-head high+ waves and some better sets for more spots over the afternoon, largest late. Light+ SSW afternoon onshores. Later afternoon/evening high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.

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.
