Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly • 3:15 PM PDT

Ponto is seeing solid surf with a strong, long ground swell hitting slightly off the ideal direction, so expect some powerful sets but a bit of unevenness. The swell height and energy push the limits while the wind at a steady 10 mph from the southwest creates fair sideshore conditions that are improving. The tide is dropping around 3.6 feet, still very supportive, making the waves shape up well on this beach break. The session feels punchy and worth the paddle out if you’re aiming for heavier waves with a bit of challenge.
