Local NW windswell and a lingering weak SW groundswell has inched up into the knee to waist high range with rare waist+ pulses.
Beachbreaks that do well picking up the windswell will be the best call today.
Peaks are short-lived, quick drops and then soft, short shoulders.

There's little tide fluctuation between this early morning's high and the low at 10:15 a.m. at 3 feet. High tide this afternoon will be at 4:00 p.m. at 4.5 feet, so hopefully early afternoon's incoming push will create some fun waves.
Sunset tonight: 6:11 p.m.
For tomorrow, Friday the 21st, waves will remain in the 2-3 foot range but will likely shift direction with groundswell coming from the NW instead of SW.
