Happy Easter All! Ok, you’re probably reading this after Easter but I’d still like to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I hope every had a sunny, ocean and bunny filled weekend! Monday looks to kick off the week with a new SW swell with some nice direction (240°). Size will increase from today’s knee/waist to waist/chest. Size will remain about the same for Tuesday but by Tuesday afternoon we’ll see some NW wind swell mix in there as a storm system moves into town. Look for increasing S winds by midday Tues turning NW by evening and westerly into Wed morning. We’ll see the last of the SW in the waist/chest range for Wed and it’ll fade into Thursday morning. Surf in the knee/waist range for the day and the first half of Friday. Then we see a new SW swell in start to gain steam through the day Friday. Unfortunately, we also see a new NW storm gain steam and plow into SoCal Friday as well bringing rain and more SW winds. Saturday looks to be a bit messy from wind but with some mixed up S swell and NW wind swell. The saving grace is that things should clean up Sunday as a fairly nice looking WNW moves into down and surf bumps up into the HH/OH range. Of course, that’s still over a week away so check back in in a few days and we’ll chat!
Considering how nice it’s been this winter and spring we really can’t complain when we get a day or two of showers. Ok, yes, we will complain because it always seems to happen when the swells show up. And that’s the case again this week. Looks like Monday and early Tuesday, although a little overcast in the morning till midday, will be our cleanest surf days with calm conditions both mornings and moderate N winds picking up by midday. By Tues midday we’re looking at some moderate NW winds as that storm moves in. Look for some scattered showers possible before sunset but rain by midnight around most of the county and through the later afternoon Wed. Winds look to be running out of the S for Thurs morning so expect a decent amount of bump on the water. They’ll pick up through the day and into Thurs night and Fri. Gusty Friday and into Sat. Air temps won’t be much help either with high 50s the norm for the week except for tomorrow…mid 60s. These S swells are starting to push a little more warm water our way with temps creeping up ever so slowly…every degree helps! Some pretty good tide swings but mostly while we sleep (at least I’ll be asleep!). Mild movement during the day although the dawn patrol will feel the effects of the negative low for the next few mornings.
Overall outlook is to get on this current SW swell Monday for the nicest conditions all week, Tuesday morning if you miss Monday and well, set your expectations low for the rest of the week and weekend due to weather.
That’s all for this entry…no ocean notes…this Easter Bunny is plum tuckered out!
Ciao!
