Tourmaline is throwing solid, punchy waves with good size and power, but the swell direction is a bit off so expect some wobble in the sets. The tide is rising near the excellent range, which is helping the shape hold up on this beach break. West winds around 10 to 15 mph are really messing with the conditions, leaving it pretty blown out and tough to find clean lines. Still, there's enough swell energy here that the session is playable if you don’t mind the chop.
