Small S, wind swell and warm water!

Getting back to the grind!  This will be a quick one!  We’re getting a little bump up of SW swell overnight and into Friday with some waist high waves at the better summer spots along with some shorter period wind swell out of the west that will keep most beaches in the knee/waist high range, consistent but not a lot of guts.  Saturday looks like it starts small but another and slightly steeper SW swell fills in later in the day and into Sunday.  Surf for Sunday looks warm and sunny and in the waist/chest high range.  Swell peaks midday Monday and then we might see some funky S that’s really not aimed into our swell window but we’ll catch some dregs out of the S.  We will, however, see more WNW wind swell Tuesday and into Wed with some waist and even the occasional chest high set showing up in town.  Things taper off and slowly quiet own as that swell fades out during the second half of the week.  Good news is that the Southern Hemi is alive and well so it looks like we might see some nice SW groundswell in about a week and a half. 

Weather looks pretty nice for the weekend with decreasing clouds into the weekend, air temps in the high 60s to mid-70s along the coast.  Monday and Tuesday actually look the nicest with temps reaching the high 70s along the coast and plenty of sunshine.  Mild winds with the standard mild west wind kicking up for the afternoon and then calming again into nighttime.  Water temps are really nice with low to mid 60s around town. More warm stuff heading our way too!  New moon tides going on right now with early pre-dawn morning drained out lows, medium highs mid-morning, medium low mid-afternoon then zipping up with a big tide push for the evening sunset sessions.

Gotta go unpack and hit the sack…travel is good but I’m beat!
Stay wet San Diego!
