______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Monday morning we will dip into the chest to shoulder high zone with an occasional larger set or two rolling through in the AM. The West facing breaks will be the only show in town with a 295-300 degree swell angle getting into the more receptive breaks.

The conditions look awesome with one more day of Santa Ana winds. We’re slated to see variable breezes out of the East at 2-7 MPH for most beaches, (a tad stronger below the passes and canyons). The sea surface should stay clean all day with timid 1-4 MPH breezes out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at a toasty 81 degrees. Enjoy it, we have some grumpier weather headed our way.

For Tuesday morning we will see some fresh medium interval, W/NW swell roll into town. This new energy will move in from a fairly Westerly angle of 280 degrees with 13-14 second intervals and put the better West facing beaches into the chest high + zone. The South facing beaches should get a little love on the wrap, but the West facing breaks will get the motherlode of surf.

For Wednesday morning we’ll go into a tailspin with potential for actual seasonal weather. We will see some shoulder high to possibly head high NW wind swell from a 300-310 degree angle with 10-12 second intervals. The good news is that there will be plenty of swell, the bad news is that the conditions are leaning toward poor with onshore winds and a legitimate threat of rain.

The conditions look poor with 4-11 MPH onshore winds all day long. The air temp tops out at 61 degrees and there’s a 70% chance of rain.

* If it does indeed pour be aware that every dead animal, dumped chemical and every other imaginable form of Schmegma will squeak out of the sewers and street and poison our beloved Ocean water. As a rule of thumb, I personally never surf after the first significant rain of the year. If you do hop in please wear ear plugs, shower off with hot water immediately after you exit, and use your netti pot and ear drops afterwards. It is advised to stay out of the water for 72 hours after any measurable precipitation. Your call!
