Surf Report & Forecast for May 26 & 27

Clean and waist-high, max.

The combo SW groundswell and NW windswell continues to fade, dropping wave heights to mostly 1-2 feet with 3- and very rare 4-footers mixing in at standout spots. 

Conditions look mostly clean with a slight ripple on surface texture from southern winds. Winds will shift direction and flow more onshore later in the day at a moderate 10 knots. 

Afternoon sessions may see a little bump in wave heights as the tide will fill in after late morning's low tide of 1.3 feet at 11:45 a.m. High tide is 4.7 feet at 6:30 p.m.
