Today

Smaller but still fun waves on tap today with fading swell. Onshores pick up mid-afternoon.

Afternoon Outlook: Modest to fun size hangs on this afternoon, mainly running waist to chest high for spots from Manhattan north, as breaks further south in the bay top out under waist high.

A little texture for the lunchtime window from light westerly wind, getting breezier mid-afternoon for lumpy conditions into the end of the afternoon.
