Matt Kibby •Today
Still plenty of size off fading swell, largest in the morning. Lightest winds then too.
Dawn-10am: Fading SSW swell, along with a little lingering NW swell, still has surf running chest to head high in the morning, with better sets in the overhead range at top breaks. Slow fade as the day goes on.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate onshore lump in the afternoon. Manageable but more chatter than the past couple of days.
