Chris Borg •Today
Surf dips today as swell mix eases, still fun zone. Winds on the lighter side.
Happy 4th!
Afternoon Outlook: Old SSW swell tapers off, as a little new WNW swell shows, for waves mainly running thigh-stomach-chest high range while best breaks see better sets. Winds are light+ SSW onshores. Mid afternoon high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.
Not all south swells are created equal. From Bombing Teahupo'o to Massive Wedge, watch the science behind the South Pacific's most remarkable run in decades: https://bit.ly/4xS68hZCowells Surf Forecast

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.
