Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Another good run of Southern Hemi fills into well exposed spots today. Favorable winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Long-period, selective S swell fills in, as old SSW swell eases, little NW swell lingers. Good southerly exposures are chest to shoulder high+ zone, while focal points hit head high+ at lunchtime. Look for a rise in size back half of the day as more swell shows. Light S winds mid day, go low-end moderate NNW offshore later afternoon. Tide sensitive breaks are slowed some by the later afternoon high tide.

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.
