Slower for most of the South Bay as SSW swell passes by. Dawn Patrol is drained.

Dawn to 10am: Selective SSW swell puts average spots in knee-waist high surf. Top spots Manhattan northward go upwards of chest-high. A little bit of NW energy mixing in, not enough for proper peaks, but the open beachbreaks should at least be in play with workable sections and the odd open corner. Drained dawn patrol low tide is worth waiting out, the AM tide push helping the cause slightly. WSW wind crumble for most spots first thing.

Afternoon Outlook: Onshore W wind builds, PM gets lumpy.

Not all south swells are created equal. From Bombing Teahupo'o to Massive Wedge, watch the science behind the South Pacific's most remarkable run in decades: https://bit.ly/4xS68hZ
