Once again, it’s a gorgeous morning with sunny blue skies, just a slight breeze out of the south and a smooth ocean. Unfortunately the surf is looking a little bit less than desirable with waves in the knee to waist high range with maybe a chest high set rolling in from time to time. With the right board and some determination you probably can make a go of it and score a wave or two. However,  conditions this morning are lacking any real motivation or desire to be surfed with small, weak surf sort of splashing onshore. None the less, the sun is out, the winds are light, so it’s still a nice morning for a paddle.
