Today

Surf tops out today as solid swell peaks. Winds stay fairly light, most favorable in the morning.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Healthy SSW Southern Hemi tops out, as secondary NW swell lingers, for chest to head high+ waves at good summertime breaks, while standouts hit 1-2' overhead. Nice incoming tide push follows a mid AM negative low. Light/variable winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds. Light SSW afternoon sea breeze for some texture.

The Save The Waves Film Festival returns to Santa Cruz on June 12th at the Rio Theater. More info and tix: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/save-the-waves-film-festival-santa-cruz-ca-tickets-1989431854230

26th Ave Surf Guide

Situated on the east side of town, 26th Avenue is a playful beachbreak that can get good when the swell’s not too big. its shifting sandbars can offer a nice change of pace from the impacted lineups of the surrounding point waves like Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point, but beach erosion is a concern here. Best on small to medium swells — too much energy and it will close out.
