______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Tuesday morning we’ll see the tail end of that NW energy, but the winds will whip up in the afternoon and start to kick up some decent sized wind swell… the only problem is that the conditions will deteriorate quickly. The surf will roll in from 300-310 degrees and have 13-14 second intervals.

We will also see some fresh South swell move into the picture from a fairly steep 185-190 degrees.
