Kevin Wallis •Today
Southerly wind on it again for bumpy, low quality surf. But at least the water is warming up.
Dawn-10am: S wind and a negative low tide has the surf looking ugly early. The tide push through mid AM will get a little better but surf quality will generally remain low. Mix of southerly swell and some NW windswell for surf in the knee-waist high range (esp as tide pushes in), with top spots to chest high.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds as S wind bump also holds.
