Clean long-period swell running up the coast this morning with that 14-second period doing the work — San Simeon and Sand Dollar are the picks at ★2.5, both catching the SW/WNW energy with light offshore or cross winds keeping it tidy. Santa Cruz spots are seeing light onshore already, dropping them to ★2.0 and making the Monterey/Big Sur stretch the clear winner today. Expect conditions to hold fairly steady through the next couple days as the swell slowly fades — nothing dramatic, just a gradual easing.
