Ponto is seeing playable sets with solid sweep but the swell direction is a bit off, so waves might not line up perfectly. The tide is dropping near low, which is not ideal, but the light east wind keeps the surface fairly clean. Overall, it’s a decent session if you’re patient and looking for some fun rides with manageable conditions.
