Generated 17h 5m ago

Crescent Bay is experiencing poor to fair conditions today, largely driven by the 3-4 ft surf and onshore SSW winds that are impacting the water clarity. While there has been no recent rainfall to contribute to runoff, the current swell is keeping the nearshore environment churned up. The estimated visibility currently is 5-10 ft. The water temp is 79 with the air at 76.

Site Notes

More exposed than nearby coves — open to W and NW swell. Best on small, clean swell at slack tide. Sandy-bottom entry off the beach.
