Plenty of lump and bump as onshore W wind builds. Smallish surf away from the summer magnets.
Afternoon Outlook: Selective SSW swell peaks, average breaks in the waist high range. Better summer breaks in the region push chest-shoulder high+ at times. A little bit of NW energy mixes in but its not enough for proper peaks. The open beachbreaks have an occ. corner but shape is best for the spots with some structure.

Moderate onshore W wind through the afternoon and it won't let up before sundown. Find some wind blockage if you can.
