Today is the third day in a row of at least chest-high waves, but conditions are not as clean as they were two days ago. A SW groundswell is mixed with NW windswell (when will spring patterns finally end?), creating some crossed-up texture.
Dawn patrol's negative high tide is now just starting to fill in past the 0-foot mark and will fill in until noon at 4 feet. Low tide is at 4:40 p.m. at 2 feet; tide will surge back in after 6 p.m. and reach high at 10:45 p.m. at 6.1 feet.
Water temperature is 63 degrees.

Sunset tonight: 8:01 p.m.; moonrise: 9:50 p.m.
Conditions are inconsistent now, but might get better as the tide fills in. Expect shifty peaks. NW wind will be enough to create ripples but won't cause blown out conditions.
