Today

Again similar to Saturday morning. Peaky, small to fun sized. AM cleanest.

Mixed short period E and short to mid period SE swell will give us some peaky surf.

High volume small wave boards best suited for the most breaks on the mornings high tide. More shape on the dropping tide.

SSW trending SSE winds again mean AM will be cleanest followed by the points and other south wind sheltered breaks in the afternoon.
