South: Surf is ankle/waist high today.
The largest swell of the winter season peaks early this morning. Through the day Tuesday the swell will begin to ease. Most “normal” breaks will be completely closing out. Overlapping northwest / north swells are forecast to build Thursday, peak late Thursday and fade from Friday into the weekend.
Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC for the foreseeable future.
Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
