Salt Creek is seeing solid, well-spaced sets from a good southwest swell that’s building. The west breeze is light and sideshore, keeping things clean enough to enjoy smooth rides. The tide is dropping near 3 feet but holding well, so waves have decent shape with manageable size that’s worth catching right now.
