Yeehaw! What a crazy weekend of surf! It was a smidge crowded in some spots but
lots of waves and lots and lots of size!
We’re seeing the tail end of that WNW for Monday in the shoulder/HH range.
Size will diminish throughout the day.
Tuesday we’ll see most
waist/chest high surf to start the day and waist high for Wednesday. By Thursday we’re looking at some shorter
period WNW groundswell with surf in the waist high range and some chest high
sets by evening. And believe it or not
there’s some significant activity in the Southern Hemi
so we’re actually going to see some background SW as well! Surf at the south facing summer beaches are
looking at some waist high surf with the occasional chest high set! The south should last for a day or so giving
the breaks some added peaky fun through Friday. On top of the south will be a more swell
later in the day out of the NW giving us some surf in the shoulder high range
for the sunset sessions. That quickie
swell will peak Friday night and taper off Saturday
with surf in the waist/chest range to start the day and waist high to end the
day. Looks like we’ll see a new shorter
period WNW groundswell for the second half of Sunday with surf starting waist high and picking up through the day
with waist/chest and some shoulder high sets to finish off the day and start
the work week. The Jet Stream is taking
an interesting track south with not only allows storms to warm up and ramp up
but it also plops the swell smack dab into our swell window…Thank You Mother
Nature! Looks like another potential
nice WNW for the middle of next week.
Will keep my eyes peeled an let you know how that pans out!
The
weather certainly kept us on our toes this weekend too! Looks like the 50/50 weather meant half the
weekend was gorgeous and half the weekend was ugly and drizzling! We’ll it’s
only rain! Some great clean conditions
for most of the weekend though and pretty much the same conditions for the
first half of this week…clean relatively calm winds. Still some clouds and marine layer through
Tuesday but the good news is that we’ll be seeing more sunshine staring Wed and
through the weekend. Air temps in the mid to high 60s. Water temps actually seemed to warm up a
little so we’re looking at low/mid60s.
Tides are evening out as we come off the full moon. Transition from medium low to the late
morning/midday medium high should lend a nice push for the dawn patrol. The evening low will be pretty low a few
hours after sunset.
Pretty
fun weekend with some leftovers to start the week. Not a bad way to kick off
December!
Stay
wet San Diego!

Notes:
1)
As
most veterans of my surf blog know I am a huge proponent for clean water
especially surfing in clean water! My
motto is…come on, say it if you know it…DON’T SURF IN POO! Be smart about where and when you surf! And check out websites like the San Diego
CoastKeeper’s San Diego
County
Beach Status. They’ll tell you
where the poo is flowing if at all. And
give the ocean at least a day or two to clean up after a decent rain with
runoff.
2)
While
we were grinning from ear to ear over here in SoCal the folks over on the North Shore
were having a little party of their own!
Check out the epic surf over
there!
3)
Here’s
a class to head back to school for… holding
your breath! Those double or triple
wave hold downs seem like eternity when you’re sitting on the ocean floor
feeling your board tug on your leash as it gets thrown around at the surface. Why not learn to hold your breath calmly for
2-3 minutes?
4)
After
a long day at work why not kick back and watch a surf, skate or snow flick on
the big screen! La Paloma Theater always
has something good showing. Check out
the latest or a vintage flick with a
bag of popcorn and some jujubes!

And
to throw a little holiday spice into my blog here’s a fun article on DIY (that’s
“do-it-yourself”) holiday ornaments

This was my post-surf breakfast from T's Cafe this weekend...I love Winter surf sessions!
