Ocean Beach is seeing solid 5-foot waves with strong sets rolling from the south-southwest. The swell is powerful and punchy but coming from a direction a bit off from ideal, which might affect the peak shapes slightly. Light southwest winds are keeping things mostly clean with just a slight ripple on the water. The tide is dropping low near one foot right now, creating a good setup on this beach break that’s definitely worth the paddle.
