CDIP Station 029 (Point Reyes) | Local Time: Monday, Oct 12, 2026 • 2:56 PM PDT
Actual surf at Bolinas Patch and The Channel is running waist to chest high (2–3 ft), with occasional shoulder-high sets (3–4 ft) at the main Patch reef on peak tide pushes. The Channel offers softer, cleaner knee to waist high longboard waves, while Patch sets have slightly more slope and shape. CDIP 029 indicates energy filtering inside Duxbury Reef into the bay.
Currently mostly clear with scattered coastal haze. Current temperature is 58°F with a daytime high of 63°F. Winds are light to moderate out of the WNW at 8 mph, creating a light texture on open faces. Winds will shift slightly to the NW through late afternoon at 10–12 mph before easing down after sunset.
