NW groundswell continues to be the more dominant system even though it’s summer. SW is also in the background. Both systems combine to form mostly 1- to 2-feet waves, but with occasional 3- and even 4-feet sets possible, especially as the tide fills in later this morning.
High tide peaks on this Independence Day at 12:50 p.m. at 4.4 feet and drops to 2 feet at 6:00 p.m.
Water temp is 65.

Winds are calm now but might blow in from the dreaded SW direction, exceeding 10 knots by about 2 p.m.
With the low tide right now, length of ride is short, but for a short window in a couple hours it might get significantly better.

Sunset tonight: 8:02 p.m.
For tomorrow Tuesday the 5th, expect a meager 1-2 foot day. Nothing on the radar of significance until later this week.
Happy Fourth! Pray for surf.
