For Tuesday morning looks like another solid day for waves. We will see that medium interval NW energy continue to churn out head high to WOH waves for the best West facing breaks. That SW energy will continue its slow fade, but still contribute to the cause with sporadic chest high sets, but once again, it will not be visible to the naked eye.
We will also see another round of solid SW energy enter the fray. This swell won’t start filling in until later in the day but will carry with it muscley, 16-18 second intervals from a fairly steep 185-190 degree angle so the South facing breaks will definitely see a bit more action on Wednesday!
* TIDE’S A LITTLE FAT IN THE MORNING AGAIN – 09:23 AM 4.88 feet High Tide

For Wednesday morning the NW swell will be on the fade but there will be plenty of solid surf in the chest to shoulder high zone.
We will also see that Southern Hemi energy peak with chest high sets with 16 second intervals from 185-190 degrees. The South facing breaks should see some nice sets rolling through and the spots in the OC and San O’ areas will have the most size and consistency.
* Nice tide push through the morning.
