Pretty small for SD...some S up north.



Hola campers!  Hope the short work week is treating everyone well.  We’re on the tail end of this latest SSW swell with most of SD in the knee high range for Friday but spots around O’side and north will still be seeing some waist/chest high surf.  (Hope you checked out yesterday’s quick post for pics…sick!)  Things get pretty small for Saturday and Sunday as that SSW poops out and nothing much fills the void.  Late Sun and into Monday it looks like a small NW will actually show up and surf should bump up at the more westerly and northerly breaks in the waist high range.  About the same for Tuesday and smaller for Wednesday.   We’ll see some steep and small background S swell at the same time but like this last swell SD will be left out and any lingering energy will head north to OC and LA. A SW groundswell looks to fill in for the end of next week and into the weekend.  This swell has some energy but got stuck behind New Zealand and redirected so most of the energy isn’t heading our way but we should still see some fun waist/chest surf for midday Thursday and into Friday and the weekend. 

The heat isn’t letting up much for the weekend with daily highs dipping a few degrees but the humidity and mild winds will continue thru the weekend.  More patchy early morning fog clearing to sunny skies by mid morning.  The humidity should taper off a little next week but the heat will remain.  Tides aren’t much  with a little movement through the middle of the day but no swell for it to help out.  Water temp seems to be the biggest  news maker around these parts with some pretty brisk temperatures showing up.  Those S and SE swells pushed the water north and offshore causing for some upwelling which is great for the kelp but means some chilly water temps in the mid to even low 60s in some spots.  COOOOOOOOOLD!  The midday sun helps for sure but just be prepared.  The satellite images show some warmer water moving back in so things should start warming up again but there might definitely be some cooler spots for a few days especially at the lower tides.

Well, looks like SUP sales will be on the rise for a few days as the doldrums continue in SD County.  Folks up north are still grinning from ear to ear (just wait for Winter El Nino swell!).

Get wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:

1)       The Indian Ocean is set to rock the house and Reunion Island has been having a heck of a summer.  The Fall should be just as good…if not better!  Check out some pumping swell on Surfline.

2)      And if you’re heading to Indo soon, well, you lucky dog you! 


3)      And if you’re ready for big cold surf check out this Surfline article…big, gorgeous, clean but COOOOOOOLD (and sharky) Southern Oz.  Awesome!

4)      Does it ever end?  More sick coverage of the latest swell.  

5)      And more…we can’t forget Trestles !  Can we?
