Greeting So Cal! We’re looking at some fun shoulder/HH surf around the county today. Size will definitely vary based on your location though. Spots further south will see surf in the OH range while the northern part of N. County will see surf in more of the chest high range. Most of this variation is due to blockage from the Islands otherwise there’s a fair bit of West in the swell direction. There’s a dash of wind swell on it giving it a little bump and not the perfect clean waves we’d all like but I don’t think we can complain too much. Swell will continue through the day Monday and late into the afternoon. Tuesday we’re looking at still some shoulder/HH surf and tapering off significantly through the day with some waist/chest surf by sunset. Wed looks like a small day of surf with waves in the thigh/waist high range with a new but small NW building on Thursday. We’ll see surf pick up later in the day to about chest/shoulder with this swell peaking in the middle of the night and slowly tapering off through the day. We should still have fun surf all day but just nothing to write home (or on a blog) about. There’s a storm out there that looks to be potentially a good storm maker. It’ll depend on if the Jet Stream cooperates and lets it sit and spin in our window for awhile. We’ll just have to wait and see!
That chance of showers never really panned out today…a few sprinkles here and there but otherwise a gorgeous day! We should see calm winds for most of President’s Day becoming a little out of the SW. Easterly breeze for Mon night and calm for a fun session Tues morning before the N wind picks up by midday. Fairly light winds and sunny skies as we warm up over the course of the week. Air temps in the low 60s Mon and Tues but picking up to the high 60s for the second half of the week and even a low 70 here and there. Wed will be the nicest day with things starting to cool off again Sun and into next week. Water temps still in the high 50s. Big old tide swings with Tuesday’s New Moon fast approaching. Big morning high tides will definitely slow things down so fish or log it…the drained out late afternoon tide will probably be best for a racy short board or some good shorepound body whompin’!
Either way it looks like this week will have some fun waves…nothing spectacular but fun if you can catch the right window with the extreme tides this week.
Daz it!

No time for ocean notes this time around…ok, just one…probably the biggest freakin’ close out I’ve EVER seen! http://www.surfermag.com/features/crushed-in-west-oz/
