Breakdown:

Caribbean Coast - The right coast is flat for the weekend and shows nothing until the middle of the week. Some NE swell squeezes through the Antilles for some occasional sets.

Pacific Coast - The weekend is going to have smaller surf, around chest high for most beaches. On Monday, a pulse from the SSW fills in the south facing beaches. It is joined Wednesday by a WNW swell that will create very peaky surf lasting until Friday. Then a stronger SW swell arrives to push in sets 2 feet overhead for next weekend and into next week.

The Long Shot - A wide area of storms in the South Pacific slowly make their way over to the Americas. The first sets will be coming on the 22nd, 1-2 feet overhead and then getting 1 foot bigger on the 23rd.
