Duck Pier is seeing solid E swell hitting the beach with clean lines despite the swell not fully locking in energy yet. The northeast wind holds steady and is really cranking, totally blowing out the conditions with a junky feel on the water. The tide is dropping low around a half foot which isn’t helping the shape much today. Overall, the surf looks playable but heavy wind makes it a challenging session and better days are ahead when the wind eases.
