Monday morning looks like another good day for waves with a combo of fading NW wind swell, (7-9 second intervals from a 305-310 degree angle), and solid SW energy from a 200 degree angle. The South facing points and reefs should all be lit up, but the minus tide could penalize the “early bird”. The sea surface conditions should be forgiving until around noon, so sniff around and definitely check ALL THE CAMS! We need clicks to stay in biz and remain free!!!!

For Tuesday morning the NW wind swell will hang around with waist high plus surf for the West facing breaks and that SW energy will start a slow fade but continue to dish up chest to shoulder high sets for the best South facing breaks in the AM.

Tide will remain a factor so plan accordingly!

For Wednesday morning we’ll see minor NW wind swell and the tail end of that last SW. The better news is than another fresh round of energy will fill throughout the day. This energy will have meaty 18 second intervals from a 200 degree angle and put the best South facing breaks into the head high + zone.

ABOUT THE SWELLMAGNET FORECAST – One of the most exciting–and yet most challenging–aspects of surfing is the sheer variety of waves and weather conditions that affect the entire surfing experience.
