Pipeline’s showing weak, punchy waves from a solid NNW swell direction but they’re still below workable size. The tide is rising around low, so the break isn’t hitting peak form yet. Wind is fair and sideshore from the NNE, light enough that it’s not messing with the wave faces too much. Overall, it’s a low-energy day to scope from the lineup and wait for size to pick up.
