Playful southerly swell mix continues with clean AM conditions. Summer exposures have best size.
Dawn to 10am: S wind lump stays manageable through much of the morning. SSW-SW swell from Elida will slowly ease, while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights. Playful size at many breaks (waist-chest high). Top spots still see some head high sets. Shape is best for spots with structure but there's corners around the beachbreaks.
Afternoon Outlook: Light to low-end moderate W wind builds for the afternoon and evening.
