Knee- to waist-high waves can be found this morning with clean conditions. Wind wasn't a factor yesterday. Today, the call is for west winds at around 15 knots, but perhaps it won't be blowing that hard and it will stay glassy.
Wave form is fair with short sections, so not much room to play around.
