Mike Watson •Today
Southerly windswell sets up small but rideable knee-thigh high surf.
Afternoon Update: Better spots may see some peaks around the waist high range. Shape/form not that good but there is enough surf to push a bigger board. Surf stays pretty small with SW shifting SSW winds setting up textured conditions. Best best is around the higher tides. Surf is poor/drained out around the lower tides.
