Sunday morning looks better as the weather warms and the winds go offshore through the morning hours. The surf should be waist to chest high on the sets for the best West facing breaks courtesy of some 12-14 second second NW energy from a 300-305 degree angle and some shorter interval wind swell.

Monday morning looks slightly smaller with a waist high plus to possibly chest high sets. A combination of 8-10 second interval, (300 degree + swell), and some longer, 16-18 second interval NW energy, should give the best West facing breaks at a least a little something to work with.
