3+ft
occasional overhead (6 ft) set
Sunny
68
Sun, May 19 - pretty fun
waist to chest high with occasional overhead sets.
Summary:

The 18-second SSW-SW (200-215) continues to build, with some small to moderate size at standout southerly exposures. This one is wide enough that some of the more west facing breaks could see action too. With the moderate sized windswell, the combo may produce some decent size at some of the beach breaks, but onshore winds could be a problem.

3-4+ft

Mon, May 20 - good
waist to shoulder high with occasional couple of feet overhead sets.
Summary:

A mix of WNW adds to the 17-second SSW-SW (200-215) and windswell already in the water. This could push some of the better W-SW exposures further into the moderate to plus size range. There are hints at a possible offshore event as well, this will take further monitoring though

Tue, May 21 - good
waist to shoulder high with occasional overhead sets.
Summary:

Models are still suggesting a possible run of offshore winds, working with building windswell from off the coast and some small WNW swell. There also should still be some solid SW swell in the water.

Summary:

MId-period WNW-NW (295-315) peaks, with possibly some solid swell. SW swell continues to slowly ease up, but with 16-second periods and still a couple feet of deepwater swell there should be some good sets rolling through

Summary:

The mix of mid-period NW and windswell continues with moderate size along the exposed coast. The Southern Hemi in the water looks a little smaller, but still surfable at the better breaks.
