Today

Fun-sized surf slowly eases today. Mix of swells for peakier shape than previous days. Light winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Peaky combo of easing SW swell, leftover S swell, and a small increase in NW windswell. Although smaller than previous days, the mix of swells sets up some fun peaks across the region in the waist-chest-shoulder high range for good breaks. Top combo/southerly exposed breaks see some lingering larger sets. The onshore WSW winds stay mellow for the back half of the day.
