Seaside Reef is seeing playful swell with good energy but the primary swell direction is off, so sets aren’t lining up perfectly. The northwest wind is fair and easing into the evening, helping keep things manageable. The tide is dropping near low but still good for the reef, and water temps feel comfortable to stay out a while.
