Playful little combo of swells for the right gear today. Clean enough start for consideration.

Dawn-10am: NW windswell hangs in there as SSW swell eases from a weekend peak. Not much size but there's enough energy for a few playful little corners on the right gear (knee-waist high, up to chest high). Most size west of Dume but the points stay rideable on the SPAC energy.
