Most spots will be around knee-waist high off the mix of S swell and windswell. The top SW facing combo breaks will see more consistent waist-chest high sets…and maybe a rare chest-shoulder high plus wave…on the lower tides. Really though it is going to feel pretty small, mostly gutless, and inconsistent…all of which is going to make for sort of sucky surf condtions.
On top of the smaller waves the winds are going to be sort of blah…there will be some slight eddy circulation early, which means mild onshore flow out of the SW. It will be cleaner through areas that have high cliffs, lots of kelp, or some sort of structure to block the wind. Expect winds to shift to more W-SW flow by midday and then turn more WNW 10-14 knots by the afternoon.
Personally I don’t think that Monday’s surf is looking all that fun…the mix of conditions and swell aren’t really going to click…and there just isn’t enough swell to power through the texture and the higher morning tide. If you have the day off, or just have to surf…I would recommend bringing the small wave gear…longboards will probably be the most fun. Look for the biggest surf through the combo spots, mostly in Central SD and far North SD, but even at those breaks it won’t be worth driving very far.
Here are the tides…
04:58AM LDT 3.6 H
