Chris Borg •Today
Slim pickings locally with just a little bit of short period NW swell. SW swell showing outside SB.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Getting out of town for some Southern Hemi swell remains the call as surf struggles to get much bigger than knee high locally. Light/variable winds early, shift SSW later morning.

Fresh, long period SW swell outside of SB provides building surf throughout the day. The new SW will be pumping for long period focal points by the end of the day.
