Ocean Conditions

· nearshore waves combined with marine wind

Wind works on the water two ways. Out at sea, over hours and miles, it builds the waves you see here; the buoy measures the finished result, so wave size already reflects the wind that made it. Right at the bluff, local wind grooms the surface, smoothing or roughening it without changing the wave size.

Tides & Tide Pooling

· NOAA predictions, Port San Luis

Low tide, roughly an hour either side, exposes the pools at Estero Bluffs. Watch the incoming tide and sneaker waves, and keep off slick rock. Never turn your back on the ocean.
