Monday morning doesn’t look quite as bleak as originally forecasted. We should see a combination of NW wind swell and some steeply angled, medium interval, NW energy. The best West facing breaks that can handle a 300 + degree angle should go waist high plus with the chance of some chest high sets.

For Wednesday morning, for the first time in a long time, we’ll be hurting for waves. The better breaks will drop down into the waist high zone. There will be another subtle tide push through the morning, so hopefully it adds a little pop to the lackluster scenario.
