Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Surf tops out today as solid swell peaks. Winds stay fairly light, most favorable in the morning.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Healthy SSW Southern Hemi tops out, as secondary NW swell lingers, for chest to head high+ waves at good summertime breaks, while standouts hit 1-2' overhead. Nice incoming tide push follows a mid AM negative low. Light/variable winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds. Light SSW afternoon sea breeze for some texture.

Cowells Surf Guide
Cowell's Beach is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf. All the energy pulsing around Lighthouse Point mellows out by the time it gets to Cowell's, and the result is a long, gentle, easy wave that breaks for a very long time. Cowell's is one of the most crowded surf spots in Santa Cruz, but as most of the surfers are beginners, there is little animosity. Most of the people at Cowell's are there to learn and have fun and have a good time.
