SURF REPORT SUMMARY

Current Observation
Knee high surf in the water today - looking just about rideable with the long boards at some stand out beaches. Light west winds I’d paddle out and get a couple dribblers if you’ve got some time! Best bet over next few days: Logs all weekend! Wetsuit needed: 4/3 wetsuit, 3mm boots
