Rippable southerly swell mix is cleanest through the morning window. Onshore flow and texture in PM
Dawn to 10am: A touch of SE/S wind lump, looking manageable to start and should stay that way through much of the morning. SSW-SW swell from Elida eases, while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights. Pretty good size at many breaks (waist-chest-head high). Top spots still see some overhead sets. Shape is best for spots with structure but there's corners around the beachbreaks.
Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate WSW wind builds for the afternoon and evening.

Newport Lower Jetties Surf Guide
36th is a great place for average surfers in the summer. On big, closeout south swells, you can find fun peaks/left walls in that area. However, the closer you get to the pier the smaller the waves will be. The waves are more forgiving and mellower than the upper jetties. 36th can be fun with the winter's west swells too. Plus there's less crowd and it's less competitive than 28th Street and Blackies. (Hint: It's worth a check on big closeout south swells when the south wind is blowing.) Read more
