Small, glassy and ??? Perfect menehune surf. Slightly over calf high, it going to take a really thick and long board to get moving on the waves this morning. Glassy sea surface with no breeze and crystal clear water. A great day to break out the kayaks and paddle down to La Jolla shores and back or snorkel, free dive or swim about. Do all of that. Ebb tide ending up with a 2.6 low at 10am then back up to a 5.0 high at 5pm.

Smaller than yesterday; just over calf high. But conditions are perfecto. Smooth sea surface with offshore breezes grooming these tiny peelers into actual surf; shorebreak surf but sometimes you just have to work with what you've got. Clearing skies with patches of sun here and there. Tide is ebbing to a 2.3 low at 8:30am then flowing in to a 4.8 high at 2:45pm. 3 people out.

A nice calm morning not marred by surf; or much surf anyway. Essentially flat with some rare ankle to knee high waves trying their best to make it shoreward. I stand corrected; Greg just came in and wants everyone to know there are "definitely some fun one footers out there". A light SW breeze comes and goes causing a few ripples on the sea surface. Tide is still on the way out and will hit 1.9 feet around 8am. High tide is at 3pm (4.8'). 4 people out.

Slow, mushy knee to waist high surf with some occasional chest high sets. South swell has just about dropped out with a short period west wind swell taking over. Sea surface has a slight bump to it but the wave faces are glassy. Mostly breaking on the inside sand bars. A light Monday crowd of about 10 people. Low tide is right now, flowing into a 4.8 high at 2 pm. Max tide flow will be at 11am.
