    Pressure Gradient, High pressure to the north and low pressure of Fay to the south, and puts us right in the middle, where the pressures are squeezed together to produce consistent onshore winds. I'd be curious to ask the moderator if the ese ground swell for Monday and Tuesday is possibly a southern hemi swell that worked its way into the atlantic and over towards us? Or is it the invest 94 and 95 that has been sitting out there.

    monday the winds should be switching offshore but back to onshore.
