Greetings
all! We’re looking at some fading NW
wind swell that’s been producing some pretty nice waves around town lately.
Heard rumors of some dredging 7-9’ waves around N. County this morning as the
tide turned around. YOWZA! Friday
things will quiet down just a smidge with less NW wind swell (chest/shoulder in
the AM and waist/chest by nightfall) but there’s a little SW groundswell that’s
we’re already starting to see on some of the buoys. The 20 second period will mean very very
inconsistent S for the next day or so and since it’s not the most powerful
swell we’re really only looking at some waist high waves for south facing
beaches late Friday. Swell picks up over
Sat a little with some waist/chest
high surf and on into Sunday. We’ll also see some new NW wind swell helping
the surf no Saturday and into Sunday…waves at west and north facing beaches in
the chest and shoulder high range by late Sat and early Sun. Both swells fade on Monday with the S lasting a hair longer and hanging on until Tuesday with some knee/waist high surf. Looks like some new wind swell for Wednesday but surf only in the waist
high range. The southern hemi looks like
it’s going to pick up for next weekend (figures, I’ll be out of town!) with a
decent storm looking like it might sit and spin a little while down there by
Tazzieland before moving on. I’ll keep
my eye on it and let you know.
We’ve
been enjoying some mighty nice weather the past few days…waking up to sunshine
and warm beach temps. There’s a bit more
marine layer in our near future with patchy fog tonight and early tomorrow but
clearing with sunshine and similar air temps by midday. Same patterns for most of the weekend…perhaps
a hair cooler. Light south winds will
pick up each day (ugh…Springtime!) but I’m not anticipating it to get to
blustery. Water temps seem pretty
variable right now (see Terrafin chart below) with the southern half of the county getting some low 60s
and a nice bubble of warm water (high 60s) hanging up around O’side. We’re seeing some fairly drained out early
morning tides moving to a medium high by mid-afternoon and then back down
before sunset.
Looks
pretty fun for awhile…a little spring breeze mixed in with some wind swell and
early S swell…surf it!
