Today

Small S windswell cleans up. Options for clean knee-thigh high log waves with NW becoming W winds.

Midday: Still looking at weak short period surf that is around knee high for most. Not much push or organization to it either at lunch. On the bright side, winds are NW, offering clean conditions.
