Today

Biggest sets at first light but there will be small surf all day, feeling warm

Dawn-to-Midday: biggest sets at first light, top spots edging chest/shoulder-high, then swell energy will fade a touch as the tide drops. Offshore wind and clean conditions so very appealing for an early start.

Afternoon Outlook: smaller surf for floatier boards into the afternoon/evening and it's going to be a warm day so the beach definitely the place to be. Great waves for novices/surf lessons. Offshore wind likely fairly breezy through the warmest part of the day.
