For Monday morning we’ll start off with small NW wind swell in the knee to waist high range, (310 degrees and 10-11 second intervals).

We’ll also have that SW hang around with waist high + sets, (200 degrees and 14-15 second intervals).

In conjunction with those swells we’re due to see some slightly more legitimate surf in the water as some fresh SW energy rolls in from 200-205 degrees with potent 17-18 second intervals. The sets will be in the chest high + zone for the better spots in the OC and San O’ areas, but there should be enough West in the angle to seep into the other beaches as well.

For Tuesday morning that NW wind swell will remain in play and the SW energy will continue to produce some decent sets for the better South facing breaks. The intervals will dip to 15-16 seconds and the size should hit the chest to shoulder high zone for the most receptive breaks.

There is also another nice little pulse out of the SW moving in throughout the day, (200 degrees with 17-18 second intervals).
