Today

Waves up a peg from yesterday as selective new swell shows. Manageable southerly winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Old combo of WNW swell and SW swell eases, for mainly thigh-stomach-chest high zone waves, while a steep angled tropical S swell from Elida gets into best summertime breaks with better sets. Light+ SW winds add some afternoon texture. Mid afternoon high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.

Jack's Surf Guide
