Warnings for today

  • High waves expected
  • Strong surge expected
  • Elevated bacteria levels possible due to recent rainfall

Beach in small cove faces WNW. The whale-shaped sea stack and surrounding rocks cause wave diffraction, reducing W/WNW swell slightly. SW swell enters more directly through open gap to southwest with minimal obstruction. NW swell reduced by coastal headlands to north.
