Today

E swell sets up smaller but fun size thigh-waist high surf with favorable AM winds/conditions.

Leftover E swell is down from days prior but we have another clean morning window with offshore winds. Worth a look on the morning lower tide although shape is a little straight/walled. Smaller for the midday and PM, and onshore southerly winds increase for bump and chop. Still rideable then though so don't write it off.
