Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Fun waves hold as swell mix continues. Winds staying on the lighter side, AM cleanest.
Dawn to 10:00AM: Decent size combo of SSW swell, WNW swell and selective S tropical swell rolling in, for mainly waist-stomach high surf, while best southerly exposures hit head high during favorable morning tides. Very light winds for clean conditions.
Afternoon Outlook: Wave size holds. Winds puff up to a light+ SSW afternoon sea breeze. The onshores ease into the evening. Later afternoon high tide slows tide sensitive breaks.
