Today

Smaller but still fun surf today as swell eases, most size in morning. Light AM wind, PM offshores.

Dawn to 10:00AM: SSW swell tapers off. Morning is still running waist-shoulder high zone for well exposed spots, as standouts hit head high+. Light/variable morning winds along with a favorable tide push first half of the morning.

PM Outlook: Waves gradually ease back half of the day. Light S winds mid day, pick up while going WNW offshore over the afternoon. Late day high tide slows the smaller surf.
