Updated: 2018-07-16 08:06:00 Surf: clean 3ft S Winds: Light NW Weather: fine Rating: 5/10

Plenty of fun south swell across the coast this morning, and it's clean with light NW winds so all beaches are smooth. Sets are in and around the 3ft+ range at exposed south facing beaches though the bigger waves are inconsistent at times. It's smaller elsewhere due to the direction but still worth a paddle.

2018-07-16 06:03:00: clean 3ft S, Light WNW, fine 5/10

Dawn Report: A fantastic morning for a paddle, with 3ft+ of leftover south swell and ligut W/NW winds creating clean conditions just about everywhere. You'll pick up decent waves right across the open beaches though those facing south will offer the most size this morning. Tune in to the updated photo report around 8am.
