Today

Fun-sized surf as lully SSW swell tops out. Clean conditions for the morning tide push.

Dawn to 10am: Ok size all day but the sets are spaced out. Surf runs waist-stomach high for average zones. Better breaks are chest-shoulder high with standouts head high at times. Nothing crazy by recent standards, but a decent day of waves for most skill levels. A little drained for the dawn patrol, shape improves on the tide push but will favor the structured breaks.

Afternoon Outlook: Lumpy afternoon outside of the sheltered points with moderate westerly onshores.
