Today

Good shot of well aimed SW Southern Hemi tops out. Some tropical swell mixes in too. Light winds.

Dawn to 10am: Well directed SW swell, which rises through the day. Some smaller SSW tropical swell off Hurricane Fausto also in the mix. Widespread surf running head high+, as better summertime breaks push well overhead on the bigger sets w/ some decent lulls between those ones. Light wind in town, clean conditions.

PM Outlook: Nice conditions due all afternoon, mind the deep evening tide. Enough energy for some solid waves to push through it, like some 2x OH sets in the mix by end of day.
