Swamped this morning in part by the 6.1ft 6:00 high tide and in part by the on and off showers. Wind is medium-light and kind of a SE offshore but feeling a bit cross. Waves are dinker and mostly in the knee to waist high zone and weak enough to only really be worthy of a long board. low of 1.4ft @ 12:24

light offshore wind, hardly a breaking wave to speak of out there this morning and it's supposed to fade more today. outside chance for some small long period to show up right before dark and throw some fun little lines but otherwise go to OB for some longboard waves today; none to be found at cronkhite

Light Offshore winds and sunny skies. Waves are pumping in the head high to a couple feet overhead range occasionally hitting head and a half. Plenty of close outs with some really fun looking shoulders holding open. Lots of bump to navigate but overall shapely considering the size. 6.66ft high tide at noon, then low of -1 ft @ 17:45. Look for rapid change in conditions through the afternoon with most manageable size as the tide drops sometime between 13:30 and 16:30.

Coming up on a big 6.5ft high tide at 9:45 this morning. Wind is light offshore and the sun is out and shining. Waves in the waist to chest high zone, hard to get into and all squish with the combo short period and high tide. Best bet is longboarding today but there may be some fun nuggets as the tide drops in the early afternoon for short boards and fishes as well. Low of -0.55ft around 16:20. Don't expect anything but shore break before 11-12.

Waves in the waist to chest high zone with select sets going head high, mostly in the middle of the beach. Wind is light off shore around 9:45 and skies are grey. Water's looking a little churned up with shore period in the water little bit of rain in the sky. Lots of fun looking little peaks for anyone motivated to stick out the weather.

Wind is medium offshore with drizzle in the sky. Tide is high but waves are pumping. Waves in the head high to head and a half range this morning and building all day. Conditions are sloppy it dominant period around 12 sec making for lots of open shoulders/generally makable waves but a difficult paddle out. low tide is .25ft around 15:15. Muir beach looks good on the cam but it's hard to call since I've never surfed there.

High tide plus small waves equals 100% shorebreak @ 7:00 this morning. Waves forecast to drop off into literally nothing by this evening before picking up tomorrow which is a bummer because wind is HEAVY OFFSHORE. low tide is 0.73ft at 14:42 and your best chance for baby baby longboard waves today.

Small and beautiful today. Waves are a max of waist high but the sun is up and blistering and the wind is medium-heavy OFFSHORE. Long board day for sure. Low tide is 1.23ft @ 14:00. Waves should be improving between now and then, or maybe getting smaller. Hard to say if the low tide will wall em up more or just drain the size out of them. Probably a little bit of both. In any case, bring your finest, longest log, and lots of sunblock.

Waves looking small and squishy right around the waist high zone with light onshore wind but thanks to Proof Lab we're looking at an eventful morning down at Rodeo beach. There's one intrepid looking lad out there trying to catch some waves while the crowd of groms in the parking lot continues to build. The contest is free but if you're not into sharing stoke my guess is that the middle of the beach will stay pretty empty with all the competition action happening on the right side near the rock. Waves are looking pretty long board friendly while anyone wanting to shred a smaller stick would be better off checking OB, Pacifica or the like. 2.2ft low @ 12:30

Light offshore. Waves waist to chest high with some head high and maybe even the occasional + set thrown in. A little wonky but really holding open. The suns out and there's some kind of magical moment happening down there right now. It could easily be gone by the time I get back down there to surf but who knows; the ocean might be feeling generous today. Low tide of .6ft @ 11:30, then high again at 4.5ft @ 16"30

Big chop and storm slop on tap for today. Wind is medium heavy onshore and set to stay that way. Lots of jumbled waist to chest high lines with a good chance for head high waves on better sets. Low tide of around 3ft ~ 10:30. Motivated surfers will find some fun corners here and there through the chop & with luck we'll be seeing the sun in a couple hours here.

Little bit of LONG period showing up on the buoy this last night + this morning with serious consistency and bumping the average period way up + showing in the water. Waves waist to chest to head high on best sets. Low tide of 3ft was at 9:00 then high of 5.2 @ 14:20. Wind is currently between very light on shore and non existent. in other words: COME GET SOME WAVES!!! This swell is just going to build slowly into something scary in the next two days but right now things are as fun as they are like to get here!

Dinker stuff this morning. Wind is light onshore and waves are in the knee to thigh high range with best sets maybe showing waist high. Things are looking a tad stirred up out there and will likely get worse throughout the day. Expect the 5.6ft 13:30 high tide to bring with it shorebreak on ether side for about 2 hrs. Towards the .02 low @ 20:30 is the best bet if you aren't already out there. Or better yet, go to OB.

Breaking waves. That's right, no shorebreak on tap. Waves in the waist to chest high zone with standout sets likely going head high. Wind is light due to heavy fog. Tide's on the rise; 12:45 6ft high will wash it out and make things a little squishy but should be fun all day with the nice little pulse of NW we're getting.

Throughly socked in this morning. No wind or waves breaking beyond the shoreline to speak of. Looking shin to thigh high if it were. The NW isn't big or long period enough to make the bend into rodeo and there is nary a SW to pick up the slack. Only bet is a long board sunset session to catch a little bit of lower tide with the dinky surf that'll be there.

The low isn't until after sunset @ -0.8ft around 18:00. Waves will likely be shorebreak until at least 13:-14:00 today. after that things remain small but probably fun on a longboard.

Clean shorebreak this morning. Waves appear to be in the thigh to waist high zone, probably inconsistent bigger sets up to belly button high. Wind is very light, it's glassy on the lagoon. 6.8ft 10:45 high tide means tide will be improving all day after about 11:00. Low of -0.9ft @ 17:30 (damn I wish we could get some swell with that!).

Another morning where the tide is just too damn high. Wind is medium onshore and set to stay that way. Waves are waist high and 100% shorebreak. High of almost 7ft @ 10:00. Low tide of -0.8ft @ 16:40. Look for some squishy and likely choppy longboard waves to appear around 12:00 or a little after.

Another washed out morning with the high tide but damn if it were low there'd be some fun waves out there. Waves in the waist to chest high zone. Sun is high and hot as gets. Wind is medium and steady OFFSHORE. Low tide will bring some fun peaks by the looks of it. Wind is supposed to hold offshore; look for fun but shorebreaky conditions until 10:00 then improving conditions all day thereafter.

Lots of long boarding going on in the line up this morning. Low tide of 1.22ft at 13:33. High is 5.3ft at 19:36.

Clean and cool this morning. Waves Chest to head high with many sets going a couple feet overhead. Wind is light offshore. Low tide's 1.9ft @ 13:30. Things are looking clean but a little hard to get into but about as fun as cron gets for higher level intermediate-advanced riders. If you're proficient on a shortboard, come out for some fun ones today. Just be careful of board breakers near low tide.
