Head high+ tropical swell from Elida continues. Piers/jetties still best, onshore wind manageable.

Afternoon Outlook: Worth a look as onshore flow stays relatively manageable from the SW this afternoon. Swell direction has shifted S-SSW with size head high for many zones, top spots overhead+ at times. Need some structure to find a decent corner.

Steady onshore SW/WSW wind through the next few hours then wind will lighten a bit into sundown. Size generally holds.
