Today

Smaller leftover surf. Mostly clean for the AM. More sideshore for the afternoon.

Dawn-Midday: Surf is smaller, but still fun for the logs/floaty boards around knee-waist high and clean for most with light WSW winds for the morning. A bit more texture develops by late AM but not bad.

Afternoon Outlook: Leftover swell continues to trend down. Winds swing more sideshore southerly in the afternoon, so conditions deteriorate.
