Today

Good day of waves, conditions look best in the AM. PM onshores manageable, evening clean up.

SSW swell tops out for waist-chest high waves at average spots. Better breaks head-high with some overhead sets in the mix at standouts. Some - but not a lot- of NW energy in the mix so the open beachbreaks are pretty walled -- especially around the early/mid-AM low tide. But there will be just enough for the odd corner.

Light wind early this AM and clean. Light+ SW wind later this AM and this PM, wind lightens this evening.
