Supposed to be fair with some West groundswell filling in. Looked pretty good out without too many closeouts, though smallish. Got my new Xcel 3/2 in the mail yesterday and was psyched to try it out. Fits well and with the unusually warm 64 degree water recently due to El Nino, the usual 4/3 has been hot. Max has been going out in his 2mm shortie! Paddled out and within seconds turned and caught a fun little right. Only one guy (with the zinc and longboard) in the lineup that was at the peak and a couple of shortboarders on the inside. I got a handful of fun, mellow waves, and those two bigger, faster rights that came through. Wee. It’s been so mellow recently… now psyching for bigger waves ;) Max had fun too, but then bonked his knee on one of those inside rocks on his last ride. Luckily it’s ok!
Only counted two.

Resulting surf is in the waist -chest high range for most exposures, while standouts will see some shoulder-head high sets. Winds are building from the W, adding a bit of crumble to conditions. Tide drops to a 2.57′ at 2:41pm.
