Small now...Super Bowl Sunday swell!



Some pretty small surf around town today but not completely unridable.  We’re looking at this small WNW to peak tonight with surf in the waist high range and the occasional slightly bigger set in the southern end of town at daybreak on Friday.  Things get smaller through the day with knee/thigh high by sunset and even smaller for Saturday morning.  Good news is that Saturday evening we’ll start seeing a long period NW swell.  For Super Bowl Sunday we’re looking to start with inconsistent NW but waves bumping back up into the waist/chest range.  Swell fills in through the day with HH sets by sunset and slightly bigger at the better winter breaks and farther south.  Swell peaks Sunday night but the Monday dawn patrol is still looking plenty fun with shoulder/HH waves with some standouts and more consistency.  Chest high by nightfall and into Tuesday morning and waist high again by nightfall.  For the rest of the week we’re looking at some scattered NW wind swells with minimal size…knee/waist high.  A slightly larger wind swell to kick off the weekend on Friday but no good long period groundswell until the beginning of next week or so.  Hoping that Mother Nature will surprise us with some better surf but we’ll just have to wait.

Weather won’t be much of an issue this week.  We’re looking at pretty clean conditions for Fri with cold light E winds to start the day turning a little west by the afternoon but mostly glassy and sunny.  A few more clouds with light breezes through the weekend and some fog kicking in Sunday and Monday nights but then clearing to mostly sunny during the day.  Air temps in the high/mid 60s through the weekend with lows in the high 30s (tonight) and high 40s for the weekend nights.  Tides are chilling out but with the super weak swell over the next few days even a little high tide will slow things down. Pretty mild water movement during the day.  Water temps are in the mid50s. Not too bad with a few extra layers of rubber and no leaks.
                                                                               
Looks like a gorgeous weekend with smaller surf to start but some really fun stuff for the big football weekend!  And for the record…
GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!
