Go out now. The long-period south-southwest groundswell is wrapping into the bay at chest to overhead, and the south-easterly wind is holding cross-shore this morning, which means clean, defined faces. The rising tide is what this left needs to fire properly, and you're in that window, best of the session runs until around 11am before the afternoon onshore wind softens the shape.

By mid-afternoon the wind swings onshore and strengthens to 22kph, and the faces will lose their crispness even as the swell fills in toward head-high to overhead. Today's good window is a morning affair.

Tomorrow the swell peaks at shoulder to overhead, possibly overhead, and the forecast reads solid, plan for the early hours before wind picks up through the morning. The size and power tomorrow suit experienced surfers only, same as today. Forecasts shift, but the swell direction and period suggest this one should hold its shape better than most.
