today 7-9a 7-9a 😁

Long-period S swell is peaking with overhead surf at average spots and 2× overhead sets at the standout reefs. NE trades around 10 kt are cross-off, adding light texture but holding shape. Tide drops to a near-zero low by midmorning, making some takeoffs punchy and shallow with strong currents. Expect decent lulls between solid sets.

  • Typical waves:overhead
  • Sets:2× overhead, consistent
  • Surface:textured

Still near the peak of this S swell: overhead surf with 2× overhead sets. Cross-off NE winds near 10 kt keep a light bump. After the midmorning low, energy fills back in, but long-period nature brings noticeable lulls punctuated by thumping sets. Watch for strengthening currents on the push.

  • Typical waves:overhead
  • Sets:2× overhead, lully
  • Surface:textured
  • Wind:050° 10kt
  • Tide:▼0.0ft 9:24a

    • 192° 3.8ft 16s
    • 100° 2.7ft 8s

today 12-4p 12-4p 🙂

Large long-period S swell holds with head-to-overhead surf, and 2× overhead sets at top exposures. NE trades remain cross-off, adding persistent texture. The rising tide into a high around 4:35p may soften inside sections, increase shorebreak, and contribute to minor coastal flooding along south-facing low spots.

  • Typical waves:overhead
  • Sets:2× overhead, lully
  • Surface:textured
  • Wind:050° 10kt
  • Tide:▲2.4ft 4:35p
  • Spectrum:
    • 192° 3.8ft 16s
    • 098° 2.9ft 8s

today 4-8p🌙 4-8p🌙 🙂

Still solid with overhead surf and well-overhead sets, easing slightly late. Cross-off NE breezes keep some bump. Early in the window coincides with the high tide; expect backwashy sections and enhanced shorebreak in spots, then a cleaner feel as the tide drops toward dusk. Long-period lulls continue.

  • Typical waves:overhead
  • Sets:2× overhead, lully
  • Surface:textured
  • Wind:050° 10kt
  • Tide:▲2.4ft 4:35p
  • Spectrum:
    • 192° 3.8ft 15s

tomorrow 🌅6a-12p 🌅6a-12p 😁

S swell eases a notch but remains potent. Expect head to overhead waves at typical spots with well-overhead sets. Early is the cleanest window under light-to-moderate cross-off NE breeze; tide runs down to a midmorning low, making some reefs hollower with pushy currents and longer waits between sets.

  • Typical waves:head
  • Sets:well-overhead, lully
  • Surface:clean
  • Wind:050° 10kt
  • Tide:▼0.1ft 10:10a
  • Spectrum:
    • 191° 3.6ft 15s
    • 143° 1.4ft 5s

tomorrow 12-8p🌙 12-8p🌙 🙂

Gradual fade continues: head-high at average breaks with well-overhead sets still possible at magnets. Cross-off NE winds maintain some texture. The afternoon high tide may again enhance shorebreak and minor coastal flooding at vulnerable south-facing spots; conditions trend a bit cleaner toward evening as the tide recedes.

  • Typical waves:head
  • Sets:well-overhead, lully
  • Surface:textured
  • Wind:050° 10kt
  • Tide:▲2.3ft 5:07p
  • Spectrum:
    • 191° 3.5ft 15s
    • 137° 1.6ft 5s

High Surf Advisory-level long-period south swell dominates, peaking today then slowly easing Sunday into early next week. Trades are veering and easing as Henriette passes well NE, yielding cross-off NE breezes today with periods of local sea-breeze influence and minor coastal flooding risk near the afternoon high tides on south shores.

After tomorrow, expect a continued slow decline in south shore surf through midweek, with moderate trades rebuilding Tuesday–Wednesday for cleaner mornings. A brief, small east swell pulse fades Monday, and a tiny NW pulse late Sunday into Monday has little impact on the south shore.
