Waist to chest high surf this morning. Mostly short period stuff with some soft peaks standing up now and again. Sets are larger but closed out. Smooth sea surface conditions with fog that ebbs and flows. Minus tide but on the way up; more water will help a lot. Soft NW breeze hanging around without much effect on waves. Tide will top out at 5 feet around noon. After that, look for a 1.8 low at 5:30pm. Fog has just blanked out the lineup so it's hard to see the crowd but there are more than a few people out.

Mostly short period windswell surf this morning. Knee to waist to chest depending on what the ocean feels like at the time. Lumpy sea surface and drained out minus tide conditions. Some south swell out there but those come with some long long lulls. More tide is what's needed. And speaking of tide, it's low right now, running up to a 4.7 high at 11:30am (max flood at 9am). Then back out to a 1.8 low at 5pm. About 12 people out.

Mixed bag this morning. A few different swell directions and NE wind swirling about. Surf is waist to shoulder high and wonky. Short period and doubled up; a few peaks here and there breaking into nothing. Hard to catch with short rides. Slightly lumpy sea surface. Smaller crowd than the beginning of the week. Low tide; incoming to a 4.6 high at 11am. Low of 1.9 at 4pm. About 15 people out.

Slow going this morning. Waist to almost chest high on the rare and inconsistent sets. Conditions are ideal; no wind, smooth sea surface and a medium incoming tide situation. Crowd is small by Del Mar standards but still too many people for the sparse wave count. But hey, it's summer, the water is 71 and the skies are clearing. So get out there! High tide is at 10:30am (4.4). Low tide is at 3:30pm (1.9).
