Good morning — solid options up and down the coast right now, with Santa Cruz's mellow breaks (Cowell's, Natural Bridges, Mitchell's Cove all ★4.5) picking up a long-period 16-second SSW swell around 2.5–3ft, while Agate Beach (★4.5) is seeing a heftier WNW swell near 7ft at 11 seconds with light offshore flow. Winds are mostly light and cross this morning, keeping things workable. Expect things to fade over the next couple of days as the WNW swell backs off — enjoy the better surf today.
