Grant Tyler •Today
Bit more surf as windswell comes up some. Bumpy and choppy conditions.
Dawn-Midday Outlook: We see a little bigger surf. Look for size to top out around the thigh high range. Surf has mostly poor shape/form but it is rideable. Moderate SSW winds and textured conditions.
Afternoon Outlook: Notch stronger surf shows into the thigh+ high range with a chance for larger sets into the waist high range, However, conditions are poor with moderate SSW winds.
