Small but rideable for the big boards as NW swell nudges down. Still fun SSW swell outside of SB.
Dawn-10am: NW energy dips further for knee-high surf, pushing thigh high or so for better breaks. Clean start and decent shape on the early AM tide push, just not much size to work with.
Afternoon Outlook: Smaller waves as NW energy fades further. More PM wind and lump than the past couple of days. Wind protected spots ok (insides of points), just not gonna have much surf.
