Fun surf for the mid-AM to early PM window. Mind the low tide if you're surfing early.

Dawn to 10am: Peaking SSW swell spreads waist-chest-high surf around. Better breaks along the West Newport to HB Pier stretch go upwards of head-high with some larger sets in the mix. 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. Dawn patrol is drained, wait for the tide push. SW wind crumble.

Afternoon Outlook: Building onshore westerly flow and plenty of lump and bump.

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
