Forecast
As of:
Localism can be stiff when the peak is firing.
Expect the cleanest, most powerful lefts on long-period SE groundswells with morning WNW offshore (before trades turn on).
Smaller short-period energy tends to be mushier and attracts longboards.
Rough reef, urchins and submerged lava make footwork and exits consequential.
