Today

Clean but small surf for today. Target around the lower tide later this morning on a big board.

Dawn to Midday: Clean, groomed surf this morning offering waves in the knee-thigh range at the better spots. The tide is still a bit deep for the size of the surf so less water in a few hours should help. That's when I'd look to find something on a big, floaty board.

Afternoon Outlook: Small surf continues. Still a few longboard waves around but the high tide makes it a struggle for many spots. Less favorable winds likely by the mid/late PM.
