Today

Surf up a notch as more swell moves in. S winds stay on the lighter side, morning is cleanest.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Mix of mid-period WNW swell persists, as some new S swell joins in, for thigh-waist-stomach high waves in the morning, while focal points see better sets on morning tide push. Very light S winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf edges up as swell slowly rises. Light+ SSW in the afternoon. Mid afternoon high tide slows tide sensitive spots, then ebbing tide later afternoon/evening helps.
