Chris Borg •Today
Waves up a peg from yesterday as selective new swell shows. Manageable southerly winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Old combo of WNW swell and SW swell eases, for mainly thigh-stomach-chest high zone waves, while a steep angled tropical S swell from Elida gets into best summertime breaks with better sets. Light+ SW winds add some afternoon texture. Mid afternoon high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.

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.
