Orange County Surf Forecast – Monday – A few fun ones as the swell mix fades.

The Swell
Our WNW-NW swell (285-300) and SW swell (200-220) will both be slowly fading throughout the day on Monday.



Waves
Average breaks will be in the waist-chest high range, with a couple of bigger waves on the lower tides in the morning. The standout NW facing spots, mostly through the select spots in North County, will be closer to shoulder-head high on sets. Both size and consistency will drop off as we head into the afternoon and the tide starts to swamp out the fading swell mix.

Sunday the NW’er (285-300) will peak through the morning while the SW swell holds. Average spots will push up into the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets. The better combo breaks will see some inconsistent head high sets. The stand NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will see surf in the shoulder-head high range with overhead sets mixing in on the lower tides.

Winds
Clean conditions on tap for Monday. Mostly light and variable winds with just a few areas of minor texture for the morning. Look for some light/moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-12 knot range for the middle of the day and then lighter winds setting back up as we get close to sundown.
