Avon Pier is shaping up with solid, well-spaced sets that line up nicely with the swell direction. The rising tide near low is helping the waves hold better, making for cleaner rides despite the moderate north wind. Winds are steady and somewhat onshore, so expect some texture on the face but nothing harsh enough to kill the session. Overall, it’s a playable morning with good energy, worth grabbing your board for.
