A little bump in size today for more rideable waves. Clean AM conditions, mellow PM onshores.
Dawn-10am: NW swell mix gets a little bump and makes knee-waist high waves easier to find. Standouts even have some chest-high sets in the mix on the morning's lower tide. Light/variable wind early, going light S mid morning.
Afternoon Outlook: Waves will be bogged down by the rising afternoon tide, while SW onshores puff up several knots.
