Weather...Coastal low pressures hugs the southern waters on Monday and allows NE winds to intensify to almost strong levels. On Tuesday the system pulls away and by Wednesday high pressure is in control of our area and remains thru Saturday. A warm front might waffle thru the region on Friday into Saturday that would lead to some shifts of local winds but nothing of wave production. On Sunday a cold front approaches the region and clears the area on Monday, details are still fuzzy as some guidances wants to tap southern stream energy and generate a storm off the east coast.

Waves... Giant wave energy on Monday transitions to more organized extra large ESE/ENE swells on Tuesday that fade to medium levels by end of day on Wednesday. Thursday has leftover surf and Friday ventures into the tiny trace range. Saturday is flat, Sunday would have building S/SW chop and Monday would have medium SSW swells fading, but if the system develops we could get another burst of ESE swells on Monday as well.
