The big BLOW...calming over the weekend.

Quick one tonight… winds are making a mess of things tonight and Friday…thru Sat. Howling S and NW winds until early early Sat morning.  Unfortunately there’s some decent sized wind swell with this and even some SE swell for late Fri and into Sat.  I don’t think it’ll be clean enough to surf until late Sat and the swell will be tapering off pretty quickly.  Look for shoulder/HH-OH and junky Friday with shoulder/HH out of the NW wind and some background S groundswell from ol’ Hurricane Bud for Saturday.  (You’re stoked if you’re in Mainland Mex…!)  Waist with occasional chest high for Sunday with messy knee/waist high wind swell for most of the first half of next week. Looks like some S on the way for the end of next week.  More details tomorrow!

Big winds, some drizzle and cool air temps in the mid/low 60s for Fri and Fri night.  More clearing for Sat as the winds taper off Sat after midnight. Hoping things will clean up but we’ll still see some light S winds through the day and into Sun.  Sunday morning looks the cleanest with very little winds overnight and through the morning.  Clearing skies and air temps only in the mid60s all weekend.  Water temps in the mid 60s…pretty nice…a little cooler down in the southern half of the county though.  Drained out or pretty low tides for the morning sessions still with medium tides for the rest of the day.

Gotta run but it looks like Fri is a wash for surf due to winds and Saturday might be ok with some left over bump with Sunday being the cleanest but with quickly fading swell.  How picky are you?  ;-)

Gotta run…
