It's not as peaky and unpredictable as yesterday but today looks like it's a tad bit smaller; with the lower tide, though, there could be some fun pop-up peaks. Beach breaks might have some good punch to offer as well.
Conditions are calm and clear and should remain so at least until late afternoon when NW winds will pick up slightly.
Tide is draining from a dawn patrol high of over 5 feet. Morning sessions will coincide with a very high tide for the next few days with a full moon approaching Thursday.

Water temp is 59-60 but with the sunshine it doesn't feel that cold, at least not after a couple of minutes.
