Avalon

The current waves are small at just 2.2ft, with a choppy groundswell direction from the south. The SW wind is light and only slightly cross-shore, providing minimal grooming but leaving some side-texture on the face. Today's tide is low and rising, which favors mid to high tide conditions for best results. Expect waves to be about 2.4ft throughout the day, with the best window between 8AM-10AM due to improved wind direction during this period.
