A new mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300 degrees but with the main push of energy around 290-300) will fill in throughout the day. Small SW swell (200-220) will also increase slightly in the background. Look for most spots to start small (and tide swamped) but expect more size to arrive as the swell fills in more in the afternoon.
Waves
I don’t think there will be a ton of changes for the morning…the swell will be filling in but I am not sure how much can push through the early high tide. So expect mostly ankle-knee high surf at the average spots through the morning. Top breaks may see some waist high mushers.
By the afternoon the average spots will have built into the chest-shoulder high range. The standout NW facing breaks…mostly through the south part of the county…will be in the shoulder-head high range pretty consistently and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some overhead sets mixing in before dark on the really low tide.
Winds
Light N-NW winds early…mostly below 10-knots for the morning. Building NW winds 10-20+ knots will be on tap through the afternoon. One thing keeping an eye on…there might be a chance at improving winds close to sundown…one of the weather models thinks some N winds may crop up around the sundowner time…so cross your fingers, you might be able to score a few as the swell comes up
