Today

Mostly small but maybe a late afternoon slight lift in size. Winds best before this though.

Not too much to get excited about today as WSW mid-period swell eases, before we perhaps see a renewal towards dark. Mostly about waist high for exposed breaks, perhaps with a few slow chest high sets for most exposed outer reefs and beachies. Then perhaps a few more consistent chest to perhaps head high sets just before dark.

NW winds this morning for cleanest conditions, then going a bit more W to even WSW later afternoon chopping up exposed beachies and outer reefs just as swell builds.
