The wind is NE for now and conditions are pretty clean, it looks like it might be swinging northerly soon. The swell has dropped a bit and waves are now chest high on the bigger sets. Still some fun waves around with mild crowds.

Dawn report: The swell has dropped back a little further but we've still got sets to 2ft and good winds early. Don't leave it too long as a change is due through the day. Tune back in for the updated photo report around 8am.
