Surf stays meager in SB. SW Southern Hemi swell worth getting mobile for.

Waist-high or smaller surf remains the norm around town. Decent AM conditions and tide push for the longboards.

Outside of SB, Fausto energy is down to smaller leftovers, replaced by long period SW Southern Hemi swell that'll get fun+ size into the bight, biggest for parts of LA and South OC/SD where overhead+ surf is expected. Nice direction north of Point Conception too.

Tar is at an unusually high level on many SB beaches. Annoying for humans but especially problematic for dogs. The beaches hit the hardest fluctuate from day to day, but currently, the following spots are seeing the worst of it: Rincon, Carp State Beach, Tarpits, Santa Claus, Miramar, Hammonds, Mesa Lane and The Pit.

Fausto heads west with Genevieve on Deck. Check the latest details in our new, twice-weekly East and Central Pac tropical discussion.
