Matt Kibby •Today
Still plenty of size off fading swell, largest in the morning. Lightest winds then too.
Dawn-10am: Fading SSW swell, along with a little lingering NW swell, still has widespread surf running chest to head high+ this morning, with overhead sets at better breaks, standouts pushing a few feet overhead. Slow fade as the day goes on.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate onshore lump in the afternoon. Manageable but more chatter than the past couple of days.
