Chris Borg •Today
Surf up a notch off peaking swell. Winds staying on the lighter side, best in the morning.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Nice size mix of SSW/SW swell tops out, putting good spots in chest to head high waves, while standouts go a foot+ overhead. Light/variable morning winds.
PM Outlook: Surf size holds. Light+ SSW afternoon onshores. Late afternoon/evening high tide slows tide sensitive spots.

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.
