Surf Report & Forecast for August 23-24

Weak SW dribble producing only knee-high surf.

Short-lived lines in the ankle to knee high zone are the norm for this morning. Top beachbreaks that are better exposed to south pulses may occasionally see a waist-high set wave. 

But there's few people out at even our most famous point break so grab your biggest log and go for a paddle if you can. 

Water temp staying steady at around 66 degrees.

Sunset tonight: 7:25 p.m.
