For Sunday morning we’ll see sporadic pulses of SW ground swell fill in through the day. The morning will start off slow as the energy creeps in from a 190 degree angle with 16+ second intervals. Don’t expect much more than waist high plus sets.

The conditions should be pretty good as high pressure holds and promotes variable breezes in the 1-2 MPH zone until 10AM and 6-13 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp hangs tough at 75 degrees.

For Monday morning that SW swell, (190 and 16 second intervals), will peak with waist to chest high sets at the better South facing beaches. Nothing much to crow about but there’s not much swell in the Crystal Ball so make some lemonade!

For Tuesday morning we’ll be relying on whatever’s leftover from that SW energy. Likely just inconsistent waist high sets at the top spots from that same 190 degree angle.

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.

This is important for ensuring both a safe and enjoyable experience.
