Today

Surf edging up as mix of reinforcing S swell and new SW swell arrives. Light AM winds, rise in PM.

Dawn to 10am: Drained out on the negative low tide first thing, then S swell mixes with building SW swell, for waist-chest high waves running at average spots while better breaks go head-high.
