Today

Fading but fun surf - good day to target if the previous several days were bigger than ya wanted.

Dawn-10 AM: Fun leftovers from the SSW under clean and groomed conditions/breezy trades. Decent breaks still in the waist-chest high range, with good spots to head high. Standouts likely see some lingering sets running a bit overhead early. Breezy trades again and generally clean/groomed in town.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf continues to slowly ease under clean conditions, remaining fun for most breaks.

Populars Surf Guide

Just west of Canoes, and a hundred yards or so further out, lies the long, curving stretch of reef that's aptly named Populars (or Pop's). It's a peak with a decent right that peels and swings down the line with a few bowly sections towards the inside, and a shorter, fairly mushy left. Occasionally it fires, like on a big S swell.

Note: This zone has a rescue station equipped with AEDs, bleeding kits, and other emergency supplies through the Adopt a Cove program. Read more
