Today

Lingering ESE swell offers weak surf in the knee range. Increasing PM texture.

Midday: Very small surf in the knee high range at best. Conditions are fairly clean with very light SSW/S midday, but it is barely enough to log, very weak and crumbly.

Afternoon Outlook: SW winds and small surf continues. Better breaks are around knee+ high, but the quality is low.
