Today

Fun to mid-sized mix of old SSW and new SW swell. Mid-AM window looking best.

Dawn to 10am: Another strong round of long period SW(220-200) swell. The westerly direction is partially shadowed for South OC, better breaks down around the county line are pumping. Lots of chest-head high zone waves, while standouts go well overhead. Drained early morning tide to wait out, manageable onshore crumble for mid-AM window as shape improves.

Afternoon Outlook: Holding size, afternoon W sea breeze looks manageable.

Today, it is one of the last few beaches that epitomizes the California surfing lifestyle. On any given summer weekend, you can find a whole tribe of surfers playing volleyball, talking story and swilling beer under grassy huts or sitting hunched over their longboards, waiting for the next lazy peak to float their way.
