Matt Kibby •Today
Playful leftovers, clean conditions this AM. Not as much NW windswell so shape straightens out.
Dawn to 10am: Mix of mainly SSW swell and some smaller NW windswell continues to offer rideable waves to start the weekend. Size for average breaks is still running waist-chest high, while best breaks occasionally hit head high.

Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate S/SW wind in the afternoon lightens evening.
