Today

Small to fun size and clean in the morning, bumpy head high or so in the afternoon.

Clean waist to chest high surf in the morning for the S magnets under light to mod W winds - feeling cool and crisp. Smaller surf around knee to waist high for the more E facing open beaches. Slightly more size on the wave rider than forecast.

During the afternoon, winds freshen from the S while surf builds up to head high + at the S facing breaks, but it will be mostly junky and onshore. Sheltered spots offering cleaner but very small surf.

Best to make the most of the morning.
