1st Street Jetty is holding solid swell with a steep northeast angle that fits the spot's winter sweet spot. The swell feels a bit oversized but still surfable with improving energy, although the wind is totally blown out from the northeast at 16 mph, shaving off the clean factor. The tide is dropping near low, which usually softens up the wave shape at this beach break. Overall, the session looks playable but wind-affected, so pick your moments carefully.
