More surf...WNW windswell for most of the week!

Hidee ho!  Happy Memorial Day everyone!  Hope you were able to enjoy the long weekend with some fun surf and warm water!  We’ve got a fun combo swell on board today with more shorter period swell filling in Tuesday out of the WNW. Surf heights in the waist/chest high range to start Tuesday but some shoulder/HH surf not uncommon throughout the county.  Keep in mind that it’s a wind swell so the energy is a little different (lower) and consistency is a little higher.  Pretty much the same stuff through Wed with size dropping off just a hair.  Thursday looks like more of the same WNW windswell in the shoulder/chest high range.  Friday will drop a little as the windswell tapers off and we might see a little background steep SW.  Summer spots will be your best bet to see any south swell.  Saturday size drops but that SW will keep the waves in the waist high range. Not the most powerful swell ever.  Sunday we’ll see a NW windswell move in with some messier and smaller surf for the day.  A new SW groundswell should start to fill in as well so I’d expect to see the summer breaks with some inconsistent waist/chest high surf by the evening sessions. A bit more SW to kick off that next Monday and a pretty nice looking storm down in the ol’ South Pacific that should be sending some decent groundswell our way for the middle/end of next week.

Weather looks pretty stable for the short work week. A few morning clouds making way for sunshine midday and air temps in the high 60s/low 70s along the coast.  Winds look pretty mild too with a little S wind by Wed.  Morning and evening sessions look to be pretty clean as far as wind…maybe a little lumpy as far as windswell though.  Tides are making the big swing this week with the full moon that just passed.  The biggest extremes are early morning super negative tides and overnight mega-high tide but we’ll still see a little slowing during the midday/early afternoon high.  There should be a nice tide push for the evening session.  Water temps feel great for so early in the season…mid to upper 60s around town.

Set a good example for the newbies at the beach and pick up some garbage on your way in! 

Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:

1)       Don’t forget the Patagonia Board Swap is June 1st at the Patagonia Store in Cardiff!  8am-noon and there’s guaranteed to be some awesome boards for great deals there!  Check out the Patagonia Facebook site for more details!

2)      That Teahupoo swell was a monster and some mighty fine surf was seen all along the Pacific Rim as it made it’s way north. Click here to see some great photos of the resulting swells.

3)      If you’re looking for something to do next Saturday how about lending a hand at the Surfrider sponsored Oceanside Beach Cleanup?  For more details… click here !
