Elevated Surf
Breakers Reef is definitely not showing its usual charm today, with conditions looking pretty rough for our east-facing ledges. We've got an elevated surf advisory with waves running 4-5 ft, driven by that 18 mph onshore wind from the ENE, which is really stirring things up. Coupled with nearly three-quarters of an inch of rain in the last 24 hours, the estimated visibility today is roughly 0-5 ft, making it tough to spot anything beyond your fins.

Site Notes
East-facing — best on calm, low-swell days. Sandy beach entry with reef a short swim offshore. Gulf Stream proximity brings warm, clear water.
