Still some fun-size surf - drained out early, improves some mid AM. Then windy/bumpy PM.
Dawn to 10am: Still decent energy for select summer exposures in the region on the AM tide push.

AM wind is light/variable to light onshore early before gradually tending up.
Afternoon Outlook: Morning cleanliness a take it or leave it scenario. Looking rough in the afternoon as breezy WNW flow builds.
