7:20 am: Smaller surf starts out your Monday. Glassy early this morning, with cleaner surf in the 1-2+ foot range. Ofshroe winds with the marine forecast calling for SW winds later today. Our local buoy the early morning wave height reading is 3.0 feet at 10 seconds, down from yesterdays 3.9 feet at 11 seconds. The water temperature is measured at 78.6 degrees offshore.

8:05 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see the waves are smaller than they have been. It’s way cleaner, with finally the wind in an offshore direction enough for the surf to be super clean. But the waves. are smaller and less powerful with the early size looking knee to thigh high, with some occasional slightly larger set waves early, with a few waist high or so waves. Bright sunshine, with dry, cooler air at the beach….

Left up from yesterdays:
1:45 pm: New afternoon photos are up box #2 and you can see we have sizable waves for Sunday afternoon. A little bump to it but the form underneith is not bad. Some lefts and rights with some waves over chest high at times. Looks like waves all the way up till dark tonight...
