Easing E/ESE swell with favorable SW/WSW winds through midday. Fun knee-thigh+ high waves.
Dawn-Midday: Leftover E/ESE swell from departing low pressure continues to offer fun surf this morning. Conditions are favorable with WSW/SW winds early, and should remain that way through midday. Another fun morning to target some waves in the knee-thigh high range with a few waist high sets still at standouts through the morning tide push.
Afternoon Outlook: Leftover swell is still fun for the logs. Southerly winds add very manageable side texture.
The Smart Cam observations here are consistently too small, especially when the waves are waist high or bigger.
