Looks like a few rideable one sneaking through early in the morning…nothing to get fired up on, but at least some marginally rideable lines showing at the top NW spots. For the average breaks look for knee-waist high surf...with most of North County, even the best breaks, staying about that size as well. As you move further south the better WNW facing breaks will be a more consistent waist high with some chest high sets…standout NW breaks will have a few shoulder high sets sneaking through on the tide push.

By the afternoon the new WNW energy will start to filter through…setting up a bit more consistency at exposed breaks throughout the county...and possibly a touch more size at the top spots by the end of the day.

Winds will be pretty good for the morning…light and variable to a mild offshore flow for most spots. The winds do shift onshore in the afternoon, likely around 10-knots…fortunately this is light enough that if we get lucky the wind could lay down before sundown, so try and keep an eye on it if you can.

Here are the tides…
