Tuesday morning will see more size as the 10-12 second wind swell is joined by some locally brewed wind swell from a steep 310 degrees. The best case scenario is that the top West facing breaks check in at chest to head high plus. The winds look very iffy though so definitely check the cams/reports before heading out.

The conditions look sketchy with variable winds in the 1-5 MPH at first light but those will quickly jump up to 12-24 MPH, out of the West, around 8AM, (according to todays wind models). The air temp tops out at 65 degrees.

Wednesday morning should see the swell hold as short interval steeply angled wind swell continues to be the featured player. The best West facing breaks will be in the shoulder to head high range and the conditions should improve a bit.
