Today

E swell sets up small knee-thigh high surf with favorable AM winds/conditions.

Leftover E swell is down from days prior but we'll see another clean morning window with offshore winds. The early low tide isn't ideal, so I'd look around the incoming. Easing but still rideable for the midday and PM, and onshore southerly winds increase for added texture.
