Today

Surf edges up today as fresh swell creeps in this afternoon. Winds stay on the lighter side.

Afternoon Outlook: Old SSW swell and minor NW swell mix for mainly thigh to stomach high waves at southerly exposures mid day, as top breaks hit head high. A new round of long-period SSW Southerly Hemi slowly rises for chest-head high+ surf at focal points, showing largest late. Light+ SSW onshores for a little afternoon lump. Evening high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.

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

Mitchell's Cove Surf Guide

Mitchell's Cove is a right point that loves a low tide and a winter swell in the overhead to double-overhead range. When Mitchell's is firing, it is one of the better right points on the California coast. This place is fickle and finicky, but it can blow your mind on the right day.
