Duck Pier is seeing weak, playful waves pushing from the southeast, but the short swell lacks punch, so it's more about fun than solid rides today. The tide is rising from a low level, adding a bit of shape to the beach break. Southwest winds at around 20 mph are typical for onshore conditions, making the surf a bit affected but improving. If you’re up for light action and some wave catching, it’s worth a look though don’t expect heavy sets.
