Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: Apr 17, 2026 at 5:32 AM PDT

Windansea is serving solid surf with clean waves thanks to excellent offshore wind. The swell is building toward ideal size but coming from a slightly off direction, so expect some variance in wave shape. The tide is rising near low, which isn’t great for the reef break, but the water’s still comfortable to ride.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

3 ft swell at 14 sec from SSW, SE wind 5-10 mph, rising tide near 0.6 ft, water temp 65°F, air temp 58°F.
