Huntington Beach is seeing playable SW swell with solid energy but on the small side for the spot. The surf looks clean enough with a steady 10 mph southwest wind holding fair sideshore and improving, so conditions are manageable if not perfect. The tide is rising around 2.4 feet and trending toward a good high tide soon, which should help shape up the waves on the beach break. Overall, it’s worth getting out for some fun, especially if you like lighter, punchy waves to work with.
