Current Surf Conditions

Frisco is holding solid sets with clean, playable waves pushing in from the southeast. The swell has enough size and energy to make it worth your while, though the wind is picking up from the south and starting to affect the wave quality with a fair sideshore influence. The tide is dropping around 2 feet and moving toward low tide soon, which keeps the waves shaping up well on this beach break. Suns out and temps are comfy, so it’s a good window to get some waves before conditions start to shift.
