Ankle to knee-high (1–2 ft) soft waves across the main beach break, with occasional thigh-high peaks on the outer sandbars. Ideal for longboards, beginners, and softtops due to the gentle slope and short-to-mid period swell structure.
Mostly clear early morning. Current temp: 62°F. Daytime high near 71°F. Winds are light out of the East-Northeast early at 3–5 mph, transitioning to a light onshore West/Northwest breeze at 6–10 mph by mid-afternoon before dropping back to calm conditions after sunset.

Primary Swell: WNW (265°–270°) 2.5 ft at 7–9 seconds.

Surf Trend: Fading slightly through the afternoon today with ankle-to-knee high surf. Tomorrow (Friday, Sept 18) maintains similar small, clean waist-high maximum waves as a minor long-period SSW bump mixes with modest west-northwest windswell.
