Swell/Surf Outlook
Size is on the smaller side for Tuesday and most of Wednesday as modest scale SW (230-220) swell set up by low intensity low tracking through the Central SPAC last week laps in. Most surf is in the knee-waist-stomach high range, with occasional peaks to chest high during the more favorable stages of the tide. Wednesday afternoon sees a fresh SW swell start to creep in, for a few larger sets showing late in the day.
