Small and perfect surf !!

Fun small surf, 4 to 6 feet with light winds, glassy conditions and sunny.
Surf was good everywhere.
Another large swell is expected to Tuesday into Wednesday on advisory levels.
There was the Faith Riding Pro happening at Sunset.
More info as it goes, probably tomorrow.

Back Door was looking awesome
.

OTW beach is closed due to the sand washed off the rocks
 by the consistent extra large swells.
In 14 years I have never see these walls so high...
