Kevin Wallis •Today
Mixed swell, roughly holding in size from Friday - conditions look about the same (lumpy/bumpy).
Dawn-10AM: New round of SSW Southern Hemi on the rise, as old mix of S swell and WNW swell levels off. Decent size but quality will be lacking (and/or it will be tough to see with fog) thanks to the onshore SW wind on it from the jump.
Afternoon Outlook: Holding surf, onshore wind on it and low quality. Worth traveling for head high to gently overhead surf at top SSW exposed zones further south (also out of the wind).
