Pretty non-spectacular waves but great weather!


Aloooooooha!  Boy, you can’t beat this weather hun?  There are some small peelers in the waist high range coming mostly out of the SW with some NW wind swell mixed in there as well.  We’re not really going to see much change throughout the week with a sprinkling of WNW Tues and Wed with left over SW and then some new SW around Thursday.  For the most part surf will stay in the knee to waist high range with the occasional inconsistent SW set in the chest high range late Thursday and into Friday.  Don’t get your hopes up though cause the weekend is looking pretty small.  We’re talking knee high kind of small.  Neither hemisphere is pumping out any mega swells in the near future either. The N Pac is quiet and the Southern Hemi has some activity but it doesn’t look like it’s going to send anything significant our way soon.  Well, at least we have nice sunny weather!

Speaking of weather…we’re seeing a pattern of early morning marine layer clearing by late morning and sunshine for most of the day.  Calm mornings with little to no wind and then mild to moderate west winds.  It’s our “usual” set up for the next week or so.  Air temps in the high 60s/low 70s and nighttime temps pretty warm in the high 50s.  Water’s in the mid 60s and super clear.  It’s worth grabbing a snorkel and mask to take a peek at all that life that’s swimming around us while we bob around in the ocean.  Moderate tide swings on the tail ends of the day with less movement midday.  The weekend will see much more extreme tides as we approach the next Full Moon early next week.

So, get out and enjoy the gorgeous beach weather even if it’s there’s no pumpin’ surf.  It’s ALWAYS worth a paddle…what else are you gonna do?

Ocean Notes:

1)       This Thursday at the Patagonia Water store in Cardiff Liz Clark, solo sailor and soul surfer extraordinaire will be doing a slide presentation from 7-9pm.  Come check it out!

2)      Now playing at La Paloma…Taylor Steele’s new flick Here and Now.  You know you can’t miss one of Taylor’s movies…they’re just too good!  It’s got a little something for everyone.

3)      If you’re further south near Kearny Mesa Thursday evening you might want to check out the Center for Sustainable Energy’s FREE seminar on growing delicious food while being water-wise!  Saving you money, saving water and putting food on the table…and it’s FREE!

4)      This Wednesday is RAP DAY with the Surfrider Foundation!  Let’s Rise Above Plastic (get it…RAP!) and volunteer to help remind folks to use their reusable grocery bags (and don’t forget to wash them too!).  Four locations around town.

5)      And leaving you with something surfy of course…a free 16 minute surf flick called Distant Shores.
