WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with most of the energy around 290-300) will peak on Thursday as it mixes with some background SW swell (200-220).
Waves
New surf shows through the morning but will be hampered by the building tide at times. Look for lots of spots to hold in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets at the better NW exposed breaks. The NW standouts…mostly in the south part of the county…will be in the shoulder-head high range on sets with some inconsistent head-high – overhead sets mixing in on the lower tides. Points/Reefs will have the best shape…but may be a bit soft thanks to the lower periods and higher tides.
Winds
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots with gusts getting into the 20 knot range at passes and canyons. Light winds below 10-12 knots are expected for the afternoon…with some onshore bump showing at the more wind prone spots.
