Avon Pier is seeing solid southeast swell lined up well with the summer setup, pushing clean sets across this beach break. The tide is rising around a low point but still holding a good look before the high tide hits, allowing waves to shape up nicely. Northwest winds are picking up and could start to roughen things in the late afternoon, but for now conditions remain fairly clean with just a slight bump. Sessions feel fun and lively with plenty of energy and decent rhythm.
