APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

For Monday morning we’ll see more NW ground swell energy enter the fray, and based on this mornings wave models there should be some head high to OH surf for the better West facing beaches, (295-305 degrees with stout 16-18 second intervals).

Unfortunately it looks like the wind will muck up the sea surface with all day long onshore breezes.

For Tuesday morning it looks like we’ll continue to be victimized by onshore winds right out of the gate again, but solid NW energy will continue to roll in all day.

The energy continues to move in from a 295-305 degree angle with 14-15 second intervals, (shorter interval wind swell will remain part of the equation). The surf should be Head high to OH at the top West facing beaches but the sea surface will likely be trashed all day long.
