Pumping SSW swell builds all day. Maxes out most beachbreaks with size and current. Light AM wind.
Dawn-10am: SSW swell builds further. Exposed breaks will easily be overhead and well overhead at times. Good spots see waves in the 2x overhead range. Powerful with lots of current at open beachbreaks. Generally clean in the AM with wind light/variable to light S onshore.
Afternoon Outlook: Swell eventually peaks through the afternoon/evening and into Wednesday. Select standout spots likely see sets up to 15' on the face. Low-end moderate SW wind into the PM - some crumble but not bad.
