For Monday morning the surf should be pumping as swell #1 continues it’s slow fade and swell #2 holds with 18-20 second intervals, and another small NW wind swell weighs in with waist high waves.

The better most exposed South facing beaches should see overhead to way overhead sets with standouts seeing some larger “haymaker” waves rolling in.

The conditions are a little questionable so look for a wind sheltered spot or a spot with lots of kelp!

For Tuesday morning swell #1 will be on it’s way out and swell #2 will continue to dish up overhead + sets for the top spots as the intervals lessen to 16 seconds. Still tons of surf out there so hopefully the winds comply and we’re really able to take advantage of all of the energy!

Wednesday morning we’ll see some fresh swell out of the NW from a steep 310-315 degree angle coupled with some medium, 12-14 second interval swell from a 305 degree angle. Combined they should be good for some chest high sets at the MOST EXPOSED West facing beaches.

In conjunction with that our South swell will continue its slow, methodical fade dipping to 14 second intervals and sporadic chest to shoulder high sets.
