Quiet at first but some weekend fun!


Helloooooooooooooooooo SoCal!  Did I mention I went out of town?  I think I forgot…sorry.  Anyway, looks like we’ve got some combo swell on the buoys right now…some pretty steep south from the Southern Hemi AND from formerly known as “Hurricane”…now Tropical Storm Faaaaaaaaaaabio.  Most of the swell is flying past SD County with barely any of it making it into even the best summertime spots.  More of the same for Tuesday with maybe a hint of swell of Faaaaaaaaaaaaabio (sorry, I just can’t help myself) as he make a slight turn in our direction but weakens as he heads north.  I’m hoping we’ll see at least some waist high surf by late Tues and into Wed from him before he totally poops out and just brings us humidity and some thundershowers.  Thursday is looking pretty small (with maybe some Faaaaaaaaaaaaabio swell) as is Friday and Saturday with knee high surf at best as we roll into the weekend.  Now late Saturday we should start to see some decent and painfully inconsistent waist high surf out of the S as our next swell starts to show up.  A medium sized SW ground swell will fill in for Sunday with waist/chest high surf and some shoulder high nuggets at the better summer spots.  Swell holds and builds a smidge for Monday and into Tuesday before it starts to fade.  So, just hang in there for the weekend (don’t we always!) and you should be rewarded for your patience come Funday Sunday!

Weather wise we’re looking at more early clouds through Wed with midday clearing and some nice temps in the low 70s.  Thursday things should clear up nicely with slightly warmer temps in the mid-70s…probably the nicest day all week and then slide back into the early AM/late PM cloud-cover and midday clearing pattern for the weekend.  Light SE winds tonight becoming west for tomorrow afternoon.  Some NW winds for Wed and Thursday as well.  Water temps are still pretty nice with mid to upper 60s all along the coast.  Tides are a bit more extreme this week with the New Moon on Thurs.  The biggest tide swing is happening through the night though so the tide swings midday are decent but with no swell, well, it’s hard to say what would be best.  Just go paddle!

Looking forward to the weekend already!

I’m out!

Ocean notes:
1)       Surfrider has had some great ads that really make a point.  Check out this one with a cute little panda bear!

2)      Ok, after watching this surfer chick video you’re gonna wish you surfed like a chick…unless you already are one!  SCH-WACK!

3)      “Perfect cold right point break…”  No, I’m not talking about Swamis (insert hysterical laughter) I’m talking about J-Bay.  It’s rocking again and Surfer Mag has some sweet shots of the latest grindage off the point as well as some awesome contest coverage from Surfline. Need you look any further?

4)      WHOA…CONGRATS to Steph Gilmore for Numbah 5!  World titles that is!  She said she had to give it 200 percent in every heat.  Check out these pics...I'll say she did!  And what a place to win…Biarritz…where the champagne really IS champagne!
