Surf's Up, Beach Patrol! El Porto is serving up a mellow morning with waves that whisper rather than roar.
Today's ocean playground is running on a chill vibe - we're looking at 2-3 foot waves that are basically thigh to waist high. Perfect for beginners and longboarders wanting a smooth, forgiving session. The swell's coming in from the SSW, but it's feeling a bit lazy with short 5-second periods that won't get anyone too excited.
Wind's doing its usual onshore dance from the west, blowing around 6 knots and making things a tad messy. Those gusts up to 8 knots mean our wave faces aren't going to be picture-perfect, but hey, water time is water time.
Water temp's sitting comfortably at 64 degrees - grab that 2mm wetsuit and you'll be golden. The high tide's peaking around 12:57 pm at 5.12 feet, which typically softens things up. Pro tip: Wait for the outgoing tide if you want more defined breaks.
Cloudy skies and a humid 68 degrees mean it's not your classic postcard beach day, but surfers don't melt. Patches of rain might roll through, so keep that stoke flexible.
Local knowledge drop: El Porto loves winter swells, but today ain't that day. Think mellow vibes, careful positioning, and embrace the small wave energy. Sunscreen up, stay hydrated, and enjoy the ocean's zen moment.
Catch you in the lineup!
