Favorably angled, long period SW swell fills in. N wind protected spots best.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Rising and well aimed SW Southern Hemi swell (220-205), along with a good round of short-period NW swell fills in for waist-shoulder-head waves. Light+ to low-end moderate NNE winds first half of the morning, gradually puffing up by mid AM.
