Hello Friends,
Uniformly grey skies, light offshores and comparatively mild temps as the day kicked off. Tide was low at 0725 and is coming back to the high at 1345. Swell has decayed overnight but the MHL buoy was still showing
1.5 metres of 10 second SE swell at daybreak.
Outlook is for the swell to drop a little toward the afternoon, but to come back up tomorrow (although the wind could be an issue if it goes too south). Basically it looks like waves for the rest of the week, then maybe getting a little smaller on the weekend but coming back up early next week.
(Your correspondent will be watch from afar by then as he is off to the northern hemisphere for most of July. So expect lots of postcards from southern California, plus my usual over the horizon thoughts on your surf outlook)
Waves at the point looked to be mostly in the waist to chest range, but with the occasional shoulder plus set. Up the beach it looked a touch bigger. Conditions were clean although the wind definitely has some bite!
Go well one and all and keep on smilin’!
