S-Turns is running small and playful with waves barely hitting the workable size, but the swell direction is spot on for some clean lines. The tide is rising near a good height, making the beach break shape better than usual this morning. The west wind at moderate strength gives a fair sideshore effect, so expect a bit of bump but nothing too rough. It’s a solid day for cruisers who don’t mind light surf and want to enjoy the sun and steady conditions.
