Santa Cruz Forecast
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.

Capitola Surf Guide
A soft, gentle, right-hand reef/point that is popular with beginners and longboarders, Capitola is a staple of the Santa Cruz surf scene, and has the crowds to prove it (especially in summer). There is also a shorter, slightly more powerful left off the back of the right.
