Today

Fun-sized surf sticks around from lingering SSW swell. Points are the best shape option. Windy PM.

Dawn to 10am: Still some SSW energy to track down. Waist-chest high surf continues at better breaks, pushing head-high+ for focal points -- mostly west of Dume. SW swell forerunners creeping in, but they won't really move the needle until later Tue-Wed. Clean for the points most of the morning but the beachbreaks west of Dume get some chatter.

Afternoon Outlook: Breezy W/WNW wind builds over the afternoon. Going to need wind blockage/protection for an afternoon or evening surf.
