Today

Good size surf, clean AM & PM onshores pretty mellow. Some spots see evening clean up.

SSW swell tops out for widespread waist-shoulder high surf. Better breaks head-high to a bit overhead as standout reefs/beaches in the central part of the region go a couple feet overhead on sets. Not a lot - but some - NW energy in the mix, so the open beachbreaks are pretty walled with the odd corner.

Light wind early this AM and mostly clean. Light to moderate SW wind later this AM and PM, but the bump shouldn't be a deal breaker. Easing wind for the evening.
