Today

Fun zone surf continues as some new swell joins in. AM winds staying light. Points decent thru PM.

Dawn to 10am: SW Southern Hemi holds, old SSW tropical swell fades, a little nudge in NW windswell joins in, and some SSE Fausto swell starts to sneak in. That'll help shape at the beachbreaks.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate SW/W afternoon sea breeze looks cleanest for sheltered points.
