Matt Kibby •Today
Fun waves off new round of S swell. Early window before tide goes negative looks best.
Dawn-10am: More waist-chest high waves on tap, pushing head-high to overhead+ for better spots throughout the day. Enough tide first thing for some decent corners, draining quickly for dumpier/clampy surf before recovering late AM into midday.
Afternoon Outlook: You'll have more crumble to deal with if you wait for the midday rebound, but it should still be manageable if you can't hit the early window. Breezier afternoon onshores make for a lumpy back half of the day.
