Solid long-period SSW swell (18s) is lighting up the coast this morning, with Mitchell's Cove leading the pack at ★3.5 on pumping 6-foot sets, followed by New Brighton Reef and Mendocino both sitting at ★3.0. Winds are cooperative nearly everywhere — cross to cross-offshore — so get out early before any sea breeze kicks in. Conditions look to hold steady through the next couple days as the swell maintains, so no urgency to rush, but no reason to wait either.
