More and more and more swell...

Salutations surfers!  Lots of surf this week with more on the way. We’re seeing the tail end of the NW wind swell and the WSW.  With waist/chest high surf for Tues morning we’re going to see some more SW groundswell by midday.  Looks like surf will bump up again into the chest/shoulder + range especially at the south facing beaches.  Things taper off slightly for Wed with waist/chest and shoulder high sets but Mother Nature is trying to make up for a flat summer and we’re expecting more SW groundswell for Thursday.  Look for some significant swell to start showing late Wed with some shoulder/HH (and VERY inconsistent) surf on tap for Thurs.  Plenty of swell for Thurs peaking and becoming more consistent Friday with swell tapering off into the waist/chest range with shoulder high sets.  Plenty of west in all of these swells to deliver some fun surf to most beaches.  Saturday sees a bit less surf with waist/chest surf and then some WNW swell for the Sunday.  Next week it looks like yet ANOTHER SW swell mixed in with that WNW but so much more surf on tap if everything keeps on track. Heck, there’s even some potential for more hurricane swell!  Keep in touch…lots more surf on the way!

Looking at dense fog for Tues AM before the day has a chance to heat up.  Then things get HOT HOT HOT again and Santa Ana conditions set up with light easterly winds all day.  Wed and the rest of the week remain warm but cool off slightly as the Santa Ana breaks down.  Low 70s by the weekend and patchy early AM and late PM marine layer.  The best part is cool sleeping temps…YEH!  Water temps have dropped a degree or two…still in the high 60s and 70 degree range.  Still some big tide swings from the mid-AM super high to the drained out evening low. 

Still loads of super fun surf to be had this week!

Ahoy matey…get out there and surf or walk the plank!

Lates!
