Today

Size stays pretty fun as SSW swell sticks around. Best to try and hit the early window.

Dawn-10am: SSW swell sticking around for waist-chest high surf, pushing shoulder-head high for better breaks as summer standouts go a foot or two overhead. Bit more of a tide window early in the AM before shape drains out, likely the best of the day, winds lightest then too.

Afternoon Outlook: It'll be tougher to take advantage of the tide rebound midday as onshores pick up and get lumpy before there's enough water for shape to improve significantly.

Today, it is one of the last few beaches that epitomizes the California surfing lifestyle. On any given summer weekend, you can find a whole tribe of surfers playing volleyball, talking story and swilling beer under grassy huts or sitting hunched over their longboards, waiting for the next lazy peak to float their way.
