Today

Smaller day of waves with old and new SSW swell primary. Clean start, onshore puff up mid-AM.

Dawn to 10am: Clean start with a few little waves to track down. Average zones are knee-waist high and best on the small wave gear. Standouts north in the region still have some chest-shoulder high waves in the mix. A little soft/sluggish on the early high tide with a few open corners. Spots with some structure best. A little crumble likely to pick up late AM into midday.

Afternoon Outlook: More lump shows by mid-afternoon, but looks pretty manageable through the end of the day.

Seaside Reef Surf Guide

Seaside Reef is predominantly a left that can suck out on the takeoff, then flatten out on the shoulder before reforming into a quick and whackable shorebreak. The right off the peak is much softer, but with a bit of effort, it can be milked along to the same inside section. On extreme low tides, the left will produce some serious tubes. On days without much swell and a high tide, the inside shorebreak can be a fun option. Read more
