Greetings Southern California! Some fading NW wind swell and slowly fading SW groundswell on tap for Wednesday. Look for surf to be a little lumpy and pretty small…knee to thigh high. A new NW short period swell will fill in for Thursday with knee high surf to start the day but ending up with some chest/shoulder high surf and the occasional HH set by sundown. Friday will start off in the shoulder high range but that NW will peak through the night and taper off through the day...backing down to waist high by sunset. We will however see the start of a decent SW groundswell late Friday mixed in with a short period WNW swell. The very long period S swells will fill in Sat morning and surf will increase to HH+ by midmorning. Look for some fun HH+ surf all day and into Sun with some OH+ surf at the better summertime breaks and the WNW will fade by the end of the day Sat. The best part is that for Monday a juicy WNW is looking to grace our coastline and drop some OH+ surf on our beaches. That swell looks to gear up Sun late afternoon/evening and pick up quickly from HH to OH+ by morning. The good news is that that the weather should hold and be gorgeous for Monday and the southern hemisphere is alive and well…sending more good love our way!
The next five days will see a few more clouds and even a small chance of drizzle Wed night and into Thurs. This really means clouds and NW winds Wed night and into Thurs. That will leave some lump and bump on the surf for Thursday as the winds pick up through the day. You might be able to find some nice protected spots in the morning though if you know where to look. Winds calm down Thurs night and leave Fri with some early marine layer but calm clean conditions the start of the day with a bit more wind by midday. Skies should clear up for some sunshine and air temps in the mid to upper 60s Friday and then cool down again for Sat and sunny, mid 60s for Sunday. Nicest day looks to be Friday once the marine layer has burned off. The last few south swell have pushed some slightly warmer water our way…it’s still plenty chilly but up a degree or two. Look for some pretty mild tide movement over the next week as we’re coming off the New Moon. (like my cool new moon phase blog app?)
I think that covers it all. Have a nice rest of the week and enjoy the upcoming swells! We’re overdue for some juicy fun surf!
Toodles!

Ocean Notes:
1) Well this is one of the cooler things I’ve seen in awhile…a desktop jellyfish aquarium! For a mere $500 clams you too can have jellyfish circulating on your desk! I wonder how long they live…jellys are hard to take care of! http://www.jellyfishart.com/Desktop-Jellyfish-Tank-Beginner-s-Package-p/kckstrtr.htm
2) On an Earth-friendly note I’ve recently run into the Responsible Purchasing Network through my work and wanted to pass on a great resource if you love this planet AND want to save some cash. This site has great information on buying Green and some cool webinairs on green topics. Here’s the buying green link: http://www.responsiblepurchasing.org/purchasing_guides/all/ And here is the webinairs link. There’s a great one about cutting through all the “eco-friendly” jargon…who’s really eco-friendly when it comes to all that green labeling on products! http://www.responsiblepurchasing.org/webinars/
3) More local earth friendly activities this week as spring rolls around. Join the San Diego CoastKeeper, the Port of San Diego and a host of other sponsors to “Walk the Watershed”! Learn all about the Otay Valley Watershed while helping out with some of the restoration efforts. Great for kids and it looks like a good weekend to be out and about! That’s this Saturday March 31st from 9 til noon. For more info check out the CoastKeeper website: http://www.sdcoastkeeper.org/act/green-events-in-san-diego/walk-the-watershed.html
4) If you like to watch guys pull into barrel after barrel after sick barrel during an cyclone then this is the video for you. Not the most beautiful condition but did I mention the howling offshore hollow barrels? If you’ve gotten barreled even once in your life and loooooove the feeling of pullin’ in then this is the video for you! (Psssst, there are some barrels in this video!) http://www.surfline.com/video/webisodes/cyclone-irina_68172
5) Here’s a good one to end on…gorgeous footage of Owen Wright surfing some awesome waves…good stuff that dreams are made of… http://www.surfline.com/video/premium-partner-video/owen-wright--aggrolite_68282
I finally figured out how to add the tide image. The font is small but you get an idea of how much swing there is through the day. Hope you like it!
