Get on it Wed before the storm!

Just a quick update…get your surf on Wed…rain on the way!  A little bump up in size Wed before the low pressure system moves in and rain and wind make a mess of things.  We’re just looking at new waist high out of the NW and clean with light winds turning south in the afternoon.  Look for showers after 4pm.  Rain all night Wed with gusty south winds really picking up all night.  Rain and thunderstorms throughout the day Thursday and tapering off in the afternoon.  Winds tapering off into the afternoon as well but still blowing a little out of the S.  Still a chance of showers Thurs and then…ironically mostly sunny Friday…but cold!  More chances of showers again over the weekend.  Friday the water will be “poopafied” but there will be some new NW with a new SW filling in for the latter part of the day. Surf in the waist with the occasional chest high set at south facing beaches later in the day.  Also, BIG tide swings will really be affecting the surf with a mega high for the early morning session draining out quickly to a super negative low for the midafternoon session.  That means midday should be juuuuuuuuuuuuust about right!

More updates Thursday…if I’m not out stuck sampling stormwater all night!  (yup, it’s my job!)

Stay healthy everyone…lots of sick bugs going around!
