Swell size: 6-7ft
S swell 6-7ft @ 11 seconds. WNW winds 10 knots. Clean conditions with fresh offshore winds. Swell has increased in size and breaking with more power and consistency today. South facing beaches are wild and out of control though a few 6-7ft ft bomb coming off for the fit experienced surfer.High tide reefs could be firing later. Protected southern corners offering clean more manageable conditions in the 2-4ft range.
