Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Fun waves today as swell mix continues. Winds staying on the lighter side.
Afternoon Outlook: Nice size combo of SSW swell, WNW swell and selective S tropical swell rolling in, for mainly waist-shoulder high+ surf, while best southerly exposures go overhead. Winds puff up to a light+ SSW afternoon sea breeze. The onshores ease into the evening. Later afternoon high tide slows tide sensitive breaks.
