Today

SW'erly swell mix bumps up, largest from Manhattan north. Lined up with a few corners. Clean AM.

Dawn to 10am: Size pulses up a bit more as the Elida swell trends more SSW-SW and we'll see some Southern Hemi SW-SSW mix fill in. Look for the better breaks in the northern half of the South Bay to see decent size (waist-chest high), with standouts pushing head high. Smaller from around Hermosa south, mostly waist high and below. Clean conditions in the morning, light WSW wind puffs up late AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Bumpy as light to moderate WSW onshores build.
