A new windswell has filled in, combining with SW groundswell to bump up wave heights a wee bit from yesterday. Call it waist- to chest-high, at least on the drop in.
With low tide at 0.3 feet at 9:10 a.m., form looks broken up.
There are already some wind ripples showing on the surface, so it's not glassy and well put together but there are definitely plenty of 2-3 foot sets with the occasional 4-footer sneaking in.

Wind will be moderate from the dreaded southerly direction so get your session in before it starts picking up and gets blown out.

High tide is at 4:20 p.m. at 4 feet; draining slowly afterward. There won't be a late afternoon suckout session.
Sunset tonight is at 7:48 p.m.
For tomorrow, May 24, expect similar wave heights at 3-4 feet but with stronger wind than today, coming in from either straight onshore or more from the SW.
