sfob. Not great and getting sloppier. Some outside shoulder to head waves but nothing worth while.

As expected, things have really cleaned up since this am and there are fun overhead waves to be found at ocean beach. We have the best conditions between here and Santa cruz. As a bonus it's also warm and sunny.

As promised the wind is dropping quickly. It's calm at the beach and at sea it has dropped below 20 mph. It's still enough to put a lot if funk and warble on the waves and it's only marginally surfable at the moment. There is plenty of energy though and overhead waves are breaking up and down the beach. You might want to hold off for a bit as things are likely to improve before the pm winds set in. I'm calling it fair but it's on the poor side of that right now. The hour by hour view us predicting the wind will hold off until late afternoon (5pm)

Pretty much the same story as yesterday, we've still got that nice NW groundswell and we've still got horrible local winds tearing it up. There is a stiff onshore breeze at the beach too, making things look pretty uninspiring. Tomorrow is another day (and is still looking promising).

It's a familiar story, the 16s NW groundswell is filling in while the local NW wind completely ruins it. The wind is blowing hard onshore at Ocean Beach, creating lots of chop and funk and creating generally unsurfable conditions. Judging by the hour by hour forecast, this will continue for the rest of the day and into tomorrow. It looks like the swell should hold into the weekend and the wind should back off, so things are shaping up for a good weekend of surfing.

No surf for you! Wind blown crap at SFOB. If you're desperate, ###### looks least awful.

o.k. ... seriously, the nw wind is back in style, creating a light onshore breeze at the beach and a howling wind a few miles off the coast. the result of this is crappy, messy, junky head-high surf. it doesn't look like this will improve for a couple of days, but right now things are looking pretty good for the weekend.

SFOB. ###### post surf. Surprisingly fun shoulder high with almost no wind.

Junky windswell but a few fun rides to be have for the persistent. Rideable chest to shoulder high waves on the inside and head high on the outside.

The nw wind that had been blowing hard locally at sea for the last few days has finally left. Sadly, so has out nw groundswell. We are left with clean conditions and short period surf. Its a nice morning and a few of the inside bars are producing rideable looking shoulder high waves. It's on the fair side of poor but given what we've had recently, I'll take it.

No longer white capped, light winds out of the NE. Has potential. (SFOB)

It's another clear spring morning at Ocean beach, with a strong breeze out of the north, slightly offshore. The groundswell is starting to fade and the surf is dominated by the large local windswell that we've had for the last few days. It's not looking very inspiring at all, sectiony, choppy and disorganized looking. If you want to brave the moderately difficult looking paddle, you'll probably knock out one or two short rides on the outside.

The wind she is back! I am sad to say that at 8am we've got whitecaps to the horizon and a strong onshore wind at ocean beach. This is a real shame since the nw groundswell is filling in nicely. Overall things are looking really crappy without any hope of improvement later. Looks like a day for another sport. Summer's coming. Time to tune up the mountain bike.
