Ship Bottom

Today features a low-tide event at Ship Bottom with only 2.4-foot waves, dominated by a choppier 1.4-foot south swell combined with an 11-mph southwest wind creating some texture across the face. The sandbar and jetty system struggle to shape any consistent peaks due to the small size of the swells. Tides are well below preference, making for difficult surfability even in the best window from 7 AM to 9 AM.
