South swell and WNW windswell are still combining to push wave heights up to 5 feet. Seems like the windswell is fading out and the south is taking over. It doesn't look as crossed up, peaky and shifty as yesterday, but the tide is still filling in so we'll see how it affects form.
Most sets are running waist- to shoulder-high with the occasional head-high pulse.
High tide is at 1:15 p.m. at 3.7 feet, so later in the morning, size could get bigger as more water fills in.

Low tide is at 5:45 p.m. at 2.3 feet. The full moon from earlier in the week is still producing significant high tides. We'll have an almost 6-foot tide but that won't happen until midnight.
Wind won't be howling onshore today. At most, 10-knot westerly winds are expected.

Water temperature is averaging 62 degrees.
Sunset tonight: 7:48 p.m.
For tomorrow, May 21, the south is supposed to back off but there will still be some fun 2-3 foot waves to carve.
