Pipeline's surf is playable but on the lighter side, with decent energy lining up from the NNW. The wind is steady east and fairly strong, making the conditions pretty blown out and messy. The tide is rising near low, offering somewhat fair shape on the reef but nothing pounding or heavy yet. If you’re chasing solid barrels, it’s not firing fully, but there are some open faces to cruise on.
