Salvo is seeing solid surf energy with sets coming mostly from the north-northeast. The swell is a bit oversized but still manageable, though the direction isn’t quite ideal, so expect some variability in wave quality. Northwest winds are steady and light offshore, helping keep conditions clean despite the mostly cloudy skies. The tide is dropping near low, providing an excellent tide stage that favors good shaping waves on the beach break.
