A combo swell featuring 3-5 foot sets is showing long-period south energy as well as remnants of NW wind swell.
Form is not perfect as it's quite sectiony, especially with this morning's low tide.
As the tide fills in, hopefully there'll be some longer wave lengths to play with—that is, if the wind doesn't switch and turn onshore.
