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
There will be a little bit of new WNW-NW energy showing in the morning but I think it is going to have a lot of trouble breaking through the early morning high tide. Expect more ankle-knee high lines through the morning. A few of the South Bay breaks see some waist-high+ shorebreak through the first part of the day.
By the afternoon as the tide drops and the swell increases we can expect the average WNW-NW facing spots to be in the waist-chest high+ range while the standout South Bay spots see some chest-shoulder high+ surf. The best breaks may have some head high+ sets arriving right around sundown…but more of the energy will be arriving after dark.
Winds
Look for light and variable winds through the morning…possibly with a slight eddish tint to them…but mostly clean overall. NW winds 10-15+ knots move in through the afternoon and hold through the end of the day.
