No wind this morning but some leftover bump on the water. Waist to chest high warbly and somewhat erratic windswell peaks. Head high + sets rolling through the lineup to clean it out a bit. It has its moments. Water temp in the low 70's. Mid tide cycle now, flowing out to a 1.6 low at 10am. Next high tide will be at 5pm (5.0). About 20 people out.

Reporting from Terra Mar this morning. Blown out. I mean "white caps" blown out. 8-9 knot ESE wind. Sunny skies. Sea surface is a lumpy mess. Surf is in the waist to chest high range with poor shape. No one out except 3-4 sea lions cruising the shore break. 1.4 low tide around 9:30am then back up to a 4.8 high at 4:30pm.

Minus tide. Tiny, soft windswell peaks. Surf in the calf to knee high zone with some larger south swell sets poking up here and there. A great day for that Costco Wavestorm board you've got stashed away in the garage. Fairly smooth sea surface conditions with a light swirling breeze clocking back and forth between NE and SE. Tide push begins in earnest around 10:45am and a 4.6 high tide at 2pm. Crowd of about 15 sitting way inside the reef hoping for one of those tiny peaks to pop up and slide shoreward.

Winds have backed off and conditions have cleaned up; a lot. Some small scale surf in the knee to thigh high zone. Some larger sets but overall it's soft and mushy. Smooth sea surface conditions with a very light and swirling NE breeze. 3 people out at the reef and about 5 in front of lifeguard station.

Now that conditions have improved can some good surf be far behind? Still in the minus tide zone this morning. Look for a 4.7 high tide at 1pm and a 2.1 low at 6pm. Summer water temps, good. Stingrays, bad. So remember to shuffle those feet and if you do get tagged soak the area in hot water; as hot as you can stand.
