Chris Borg •Today
Surf dips today as swell mix eases, still fun zone. Winds on the lighter side, cleanest in the AM
Happy 4th!
Dawn to 10:00AM: Old SSW swell tapers off, as a little new WNW swell shows, for waves mainly running thigh-stomach-chest high range while best breaks see better sets. Draining negative low tide early AM, then incoming tide push gets an assist rest of the morning, while very light S winds puff up.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds. Winds are light+ SSW onshores. Mid afternoon high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.
Not all south swells are created equal. From Bombing Teahupo'o to Massive Wedge, watch the science behind the South Pacific's most remarkable run in decades: https://bit.ly/4xS68hZScott Creek Surf Forecast

Scott Creek Surf Guide
Scott's Creek is a right reef that breaks anywhere from two feet to 20, mostly in the winter. It can get big and burly, and the place will roll you to within an inch of your life if you screw up. The reef on the north end of the beach is the main attraction, but during the winter, the creek and the moving sand can create sandbars all up and down the beach. Scott's Creek also gets a lot of wind, so if you see sails, you probably won't be surfing. Read more
