Warnings for today

  • Strong surge expected

South-facing cove exposed to south through southwest swells. South and south-southwest hit at near-full strength, with southwest following at high exposure. West-southwest sees moderate exposure. West through northwest are well protected, with north seeing minimal exposure. Calm during north and west swells but surgy when south energy runs. Dense kelp bed demands streamlined gear.
