Monday morning looks a hair better with some small, but long interval South swell from 200-205 degree angle. This should be good for some fun little waist high plus sets at the better S/SW facing breaks. While not big, it is a deepwater swell and should have a little push to it.

There’s also another steeper South swell showing up later in the day. This energy moves in from a 185-190 degree angle and will also be a small but deepwater swell. It should be a bit bigger for Tuesday.

Tuesday should have some small South pulses through the day. The 200+ degree swell will be on the decline but the South, 185+ degree energy will be peaking. Nothing to do backflips over but it should make for some waist high plus muscley little sets.
