Tourmaline is holding solid right now with good energy and well-shaped waves from the SSW. The swell is lining up decently even though the wind is coming from the southwest, making the conditions a bit onshore and less clean. The tide is dropping low near the upcoming low tide, which fits fair with how the waves are shaping up on this beach break. It’s definitely workable but not perfectly glassy with a slight bump on the water.
