CDIP Buoy 193 ( offshore deep-water telemetry) and CDIP Buoy 076 (Diablo Canyon nearshore) indicate a solid mid-period WNW swell train running. At Morro Bay, exposed beachbreaks and the rock peaks are holding fun, contestable surf in the chest to head high range (4-6 ft), with occasional overhead sets hitting the outer sandbars. Inside the bay and ultra-protected pockets, wave action remains ankle to knee high.
Current conditions are partly cloudy and crisp with an air temperature of 58°F. Today's expected high is 63°F. Winds are currently NNW at 6 mph, creating light side-onshore texture on the face. Winds are forecasted to increase gently out of the NW to 10-14 mph through mid-afternoon before dropping off toward evening.

Swell Breakdown: Primary swell is from WNW (290-295°) at 7-8 ft with a 13-14 second period. Secondary background energy is holding out of the W at 2-3 ft with a 10 second period.
Trend: Surf heights will hold steady through remainder of today before a slight easing trend begins late Thursday as the primary swell train slowly decays.
