Pipeline is seeing weak, misaligned swell that’s failing to hit the spot’s sweet zone and stays below workable size. The east wind at 15 mph keeps the surf on the junky side, making for a poor session overall. The tide is rising near the bottom range, doing little to boost the shape on this reef break. Expect patchy isolated rain showers but mostly low impact on surf visibility.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

3 ft NNE swell with an 8-second pulse, east wind at 15 mph, rising tide near zero, 80°F water, 76°F air.
