Ventura Dawn Patrol Report: A little bit of morning sickness right out of the gates but light/favorable as a small blend of S/SSW swells, NW windswell and building S/SSE tropical swell from Karina put surf up into the thigh/waist-high+ zone. Shape becomes more sluggish/slow through morning as the tide eventually hits a 5.1' high at 9:40am but overall, a few decent, little corners to track down.



Rest of the Day Outlook: We should see surf trend up a peg by afternoon as more southerly tropical swell moves in from Karina -- Chest-high sets through good summer exposures. The tide drops to a 1.1' low at 3:24pm while moderate W/WNW onshore wind develops through the afternoon. Overall, the cleanest window will be through the morning but worth a look later this afternoon/evening as that tropical swell kicks in. Seek out some wind blockage for cleanest surf.
