Salt Creek’s waves are on the smaller, playable side with a steady west swell that’s building but still a bit weak in power. The tide is dropping from a mid-level height, which keeps the break working fairly well on its reef cobbles today. Southwest winds are light and steady, improving conditions without much chop, so the sets are clean enough for a decent session. Water’s warm and sunny with solid visibility, making it worth heading out if you’re up for some fun, easy-going waves.
