Today

Decent size - especially far north county, but drained early. Light wind early, then windy/bumpy PM

Dawn to 10am: Still decent energy for select summer exposures (north in the region) on the AM tide push as SSW swell lingers. Average breaks are in the waist-stomach high zone as good breaks push head high+ at times. Shape is lined up outside of spots with some structure. Wind is light this AM, surf should improve some through mid AM on the tide push.

Afternoon Outlook: Increasing bump to chop through the afternoon as breezy W wind builds.
