Black's Beach is firing with strong, well-shaped waves thanks to an excellent swell landing from the ideal SSW direction. The light northwest wind keeps things clean with just a slight ripple on the water, making it easy to pick your lines. The tide is dropping near low, which fits well with the beach break, helping the sets hold shape and giving solid rides.
