This morning we have a slow/easing SW groundswell with some rising/steep angled NW energy mixing in. Surf is still peaky at most of the beach-breaks, but small-scale with South winds and surface texture. We have a 4.1' High tide at 7:10am before dropping to a 2.6' Low at 12:30pm. Then another High can be expected around 6:10pm at 4.7'.

Today we have a small mix of SSW and NW energy. Only the standout breaks of the region are up to knee-waist high on inconsistent sets. However, surface conditions are clean with some crossed up peaks at the beach-breaks. We have a 3.8' High tide at 7am that drops slightly to a 3' Low by 11:15am. Then another High tide fills in by 5:10pm at 5.4'.

Mix of old, fading SSW swell and new slow building SSW groundswell provides majority of the energy while some NW windswell crosses it up. Look for most spots to see knee-waist-chest high waves while better combo spots see some shoulder-almost head high sets at times. Shape is a bit more lined up today as that windswell energy has dropped off a notch. but not much wind right now so expect pretty clean conditions and the tide is rising to a 5.9' high at 10:45am that will likely slow/bog things down a bit.

MONDAY: A small mix of SW and SSE Southern Hemi swells combine with a touch of NW wind/groundswell. Look for knee-thigh high surf for most spots, while top S/combo locations see a few waist high sets.

Wind: Light/variable early, with SW to W wind building 8-12kts over the afternoon.

This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Scattered peaks and lines staying soft but workable on the better set wave corners. Larger sets can wall out at times and it just looks a bit weak overall. Tide push could help a bit. Clean.

2-3 ft - knee to waist high with occasional 4 ft. and poor+ conditions.

PM REGIIONAL OVERVIEW: Onshore flow continues to hack things up and put a pretty decent chop to the surface this afternoon. Southern hemi energy is fading but still offering rideable waves in the knee-waist high range with very inconsistent belly-chest high sets for the standout spots. Shape is real weak, sectiony and broken up with a deep 5' high tide at 2pm.

1-2 ft - ankle to knee high with occasional 3 ft. and poor-fair conditions. Modest mix of southern hemi energy and NW windswell continues this morning, surf is small but clean with most spots across the region seeing knee high waves with the occasional thigh-waist high set for standouts. Winds are light and tide swinga are big today with a -.06' low that comes through at 6am then rises to a deep 5' high around 12noon.
