Kevin Wallis •Today
Fun surf as surf eases. Some manageable crumble and fog this afternoon.
Dawn-10AM: Old S Southern Hemi swell holds at mid-period, for mainly chest to head high waves at exposures, while top summertime breaks are still a bit overhead on sets. Favorable early morning tide push and light wind, but low visibility with fog.
