Today

Minor sideshore southerly windswell at lunch. Surf rebuilds over the PM, biggest late in the day.

Midday: Mostly knee high surf with a few bigger sets for Avon-Buxton areas that can handle the higher tide at lunch. Conditions are side textured with building SW/SSW winds. Not much to it, but not flat.
