Today

Surf tops out today as solid swell peaks. Winds stay fairly light, most favorable in the morning.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Healthy SSW Southern Hemi tops out, as secondary NW swell lingers, for chest to head high+ waves at good summertime breaks, while standouts hit 1-2' overhead. Nice incoming tide push follows a mid AM negative low. Light/variable winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds. Light SSW afternoon sea breeze for some texture.

The Save The Waves Film Festival returns to Santa Cruz on June 12th at the Rio Theater. More info and tix: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/save-the-waves-film-festival-santa-cruz-ca-tickets-1989431854230
