Why it's rated Very Poor

Light WNW wind at 7 kn is onshore, adding a little bump. Low tide, dropping. This spot prefers a mid-high tide.

What affects this forecast?
  • 1-2 ft faces from a 2.0 ft SSW long-period groundswell at 12 s. A WNW swell at 8 s is adding to it.
  • SSW is 37° outside this spot's swell window, so it won't get the full size.
  • On the small side for this spot (works best at 3-10 ft).
  • Light WNW wind at 7 kn is onshore, adding a little bump.
  • Low tide, dropping. This spot prefers a mid-high tide.
  • Limiting factor: tide.
