The W-WNW swell will be on the way down on Tuesday but don’t expect it to drop very far. Look for the average N. LA spots to see surf in the knee-waist high range with some shoulder-head high sets at the better WNW facing breaks as you move further up the coast.

The South Bay breaks will still have plenty of surf and size…the average W facing breaks will be running in the shoulder-head high range with overhead sets mixing in. The standout WNW-NW facing spots will see head high and overhead sizes on most of the sets…with some sets going a couple of feet overhead at times.

Winds look good for the morning, mostly light and variable to light offshore for most spots. NW-NNW winds move in later in the day but stay around the manageable 8-10 knot range.
