The most exposed South facing breaks should see shoulder high to OH sets all through the day. Top spots in the OC and San O’ areas will see the bulk of the action but there should be just enough West in the swell direction to leak into the the less exposed beaches.

For Monday morning we’ll dip into the chest to shoulder high zone for the AM as the aforementioned swell backs down, but the more exciting news is that a SOLID SW pulse will roar into town and start to show its teeth later in the day. This energy will move in from a more Westerly 200 degree angle with strapping 19-20 second intervals. Tuesday morning should be pretty solid!

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.

The main difficulty lies in predicting how exactly the ocean and the environment will behave at any given time. One day, you could be riding four-footers all day and the next, you might be facing a glasslike surface with nary a ripple.
