The left is peeling from a soft take-off this morning, and the nine-second period means the shape is holding its face all the way to the reef. The swell wraps in from the right direction, so you're getting the benefit of the angle, but the north wind is onshore and flattening the lines. Waist to stomach height with three-quarters groundswell keeps it readable, though the right is probably smaller and choppier. Worth a dawn session if you're keen on mellow shape, or hold fire if you need more definition.

By mid-afternoon the swell looks a touch fuller at waist to stomach, but the wind is swinging harder from the north-northwest and staying onshore, so don't expect anything sharper than now. The tide barely moves through this fall, which should keep access reasonable, but the window closes before any real improvement arrives.

Tomorrow morning is a genuine step up. The forecast reads good, with swell filling to shoulder height and a cleaner angle early on before the wind builds, so peak conditions look best between dawn and mid-morning. Forecasts shift on the Atlantic, but the read is solid enough to plan around.
