Today

Easing but still decent/fun size surf. Bumpy with onshore W wind this PM but doable.

Dawn to 10am: Drained to start the morning, low tide at 6:52am. Worth waiting on the tide push mid-morning for most spots. Blend of holding SW swell and leftover SSW/S swell keeps the lights on, waist-chest high with better breaks topping out around head-high to a little overhead.

Semi clean start. Mid to later AM on the tide push looks reasonably clean w/ light onshore crumble.

Afternoon Outlook: Size tapers down a bit further. Building W wind expected for the afternoon.
