Pipeline is skating on weak, misaligned swell with waves well below workable size. The east wind at 15 mph holds steady and brings a bit of onshore push, making the surf feel poor and a little blown out. The tide is dropping around a foot, which isn’t helping the wave quality on the reef. Overall, it’s not firing but you might find a few weak, playable bumps if you’re looking to get wet.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

3.6 ft waves from the NNE with a 10-second cycle, east wind at 15 mph, dropping tide near 1 ft, water temp 80 F, air temp 75 F.
