Solid SSW swell running 15 seconds is lighting up the Santa Cruz and San Mateo coast this morning — Doran Beach leads at ★5, with Pigeon Point and Waddell Creek both at ★4.5 on 4-6ft swell and favorable cross to cross-offshore winds; Cowell's and Steamer Lane are cleaner with offshore flow at ★4. Winds stay manageable through the day, though Sharp Park and Salmon Creek are already seeing cross-onshore slop. Swell holds steady over the next 24 hours, so expect similar conditions through the weekend before the next pulse works in.
