Today

Pulsey/lully but fun waves at small-wave reefs from W swell. Glassy early, clean/groomed PM.

Dawn-10am: Little W pulse from former Super Typhoon Bavi has moved in and is showing decent energy on local buoys. Looks bigger than prior expectations with waist-chest high surf at the better spots.

Afternoon Outlook: Size holds through the afternoon, setlling slightly this evening. Clean all day with moderate E trades.
