Huntington is holding solid 4-foot sets from the west with clean shape despite a short swell energy. The south wind is steady and creates fair sideshore conditions, so waves have some texture but remain rideable. The tide is rising near mid-level, which is excellent for shaping up the waves, making it a decent session to get some fun turns in.
