The conditions look dicey at best as some foul weather whips into town. We’re anticipating swirling double digit winds all day long and a 20% chance of rain. The air temp drops down to 63 degrees.

For Monday morning we’ll see an even bigger swell move in, but along with it some nasty winds/weather and rain. The better West facing breaks will be in the OH to DOH zone in the morning and continue to build through the night.
Stay on your toes though, even though the winds are predicted to be piss poor Mother Nature doesn’t always adhere to the script. I’ve seen the wind shift offshore many times when it was pre-scripted to be “Victory at Sea”. Likely… no possibly… you never know!

For Tuesday morning looks more making with OH to DOH + sets and possibly even bigger at some spots if the swell models don’t deviate from their current trend. Once again, it looks very messy on paper!
