    West to northwest swells in the 3-6 foot range with light east or northeast winds. Mid-tide on the rise is the sweet spot—too low and the reef gets dangerously shallow, too high and it loses shape. Fall and winter deliver the most consistent surf, with Santa Ana events creating glassy, overhead conditions.
