Overview:
Caribbean - More micro-sized waves for the week, with a few knee high peelers on Sunday but nothing on the horizon.
Pacific - Two South swells shorter periods (12 and 14 seconds) keep the waves head high through to the weekend, but the next push is from the SSW (3.7 ft at 14 seconds) arriving Monday and getting bigger Tuesday (3.6 ft at 16 seconds). There's a short period West swell (4 ft at 9 seconds) in the mix, too, for some extra chest-head high waves in between the sets.
