Surf Report & Forecast for August 20-21

Spring-like patterns; SW and NW mix with 1-3 foot fair conditions.

Like yesterday, today looks like a combo of weak SW groundswell with localized NW windswell, producing mixed-up peaks. Occasional fun 3-foot sets are worth the paddle out. 

Morning session coincides with incoming tide, which peaks at 1:40 p.m. at 4.6 feet. 

Air temp and water temp are the same: 66 degrees.

Winds are light from the west-northwest and will stay under 10 knots today.

Sunset tonight: 7:29 p.m. 

For tomorrow, Sunday the 21st, 2-3 foot surf will continue to hold, and with a stronger NW windswell, some breaks, especially beachbreaks, could see some head-high grinders.
