Pipeline is wrapping with weak, playful waves right now thanks to a swell that’s lining up nicely but just under size and power. The east northeast wind around 17 mph keeps things a bit junky and onshore so the surf isn’t really getting clean or glassy. The tide is rising near low, which isn’t helping the wave shape much on this reef break. If you’re chasing solid sets you might want to wait for bigger swell and a lighter wind day.
