Plenty more surf!

Are your arms worn out yet or are you just getting started?  The Pacific is gearing up for more as we’ve got some sizable WNW on top of the lingering SW groundswell.  Waves in the chest/shoulder high range for Thursday with some HH sets showing up.  Size holds through the day with that WNW swell filling in.  Friday the old SW and the WNW both taper off and things back off to waist/chest high.  A new background SW groundswell filling in Friday will give us more summer fun with inconsistent waves in the chest/shoulder range.  Saturday all swells back off but we’ll still see waist/chest high surf out of the south.  Sunday looks like the smallest day with waist high waves out of the south.  Monday it looks like a new swell fills in out of the SW.  Looks like a pretty nice swell too with surf really bumping up into the waist/chest range for the day and really kicking in Tuesday with HH/OH waves as the swell peaks midday. The swell holds on through the day and looks like it’ll taper off a little Wed but with plenty of energy left in the shoulder/HH waves.

It looks like the weather’s going to hold out for us.  We’ll see some morning and evening clouds but midday we’ll see sunshine.  Air temps in the high 60s through the rest of the week with some slightly cooler air temps in the mid60s for the holiday weekend.  Light SE winds this evening will make way for more SE winds early becoming gusty SW by the afternoon.  Lighter S winds for the rest of the weekend with calm mornings and moderate SW winds for the afternoons.  We’re looking at a full moon on Saturday so tides are swinging but the most in the afternoon/evening. An early morning negative tide will make for a nice morning tide push before the tide backs off to a medium low mid-afternoon and then a big tide push after sunset.  Water is really quite nice with temps in the mid to high 60s.

Looks like more fun surf on the way for the next week!

Stay wet San Diego!
