Medium/small S for the weekend then new SW midweek!

Happy Friday and Happy Summer Solstice!  It’s now officially SUMMERTIME!  So, kick off those sneakers and stick your toes in the sand cause it’s time for warm water and south swells!  We’re seeing some crossed up swell as the tail end of the last S swell mixes with W wind swell.  That made for some bumpy waist/chest high surf today with the summer spots seeing the bigger chest high sets.  Surf will be smaller Saturday as the W wind swell holds.  Sunday looks about the same on into MondayTuesday looks like a turn around day with a new SW inconsistent groundswell arriving midday with a little extra push from a tropical cyclone that’s formed down off Mainland Mex.  That groundswell will bump things into the inconsistent chest/shoulder high range by late Tues afternoon, fill in through the day Wednesday with chest to shoulder/HH surf and peaking Thursday morning with some fun chest/shoulder high surf and HH at the standout south summer breaks.   Friday the swell will hold for the morning session and fade gradually through the day.  By Sat we’re looking at waist/chest high surf…still plenty fun but smaller and more consistent.  Some activity down in the Southern Hemi…Indo is a good place to be right now too if you happen to have the time!

The weather pattern seems to be holding for the next few days.  That means early morning clouds, clearing mid-morning to sunshine midday and then that marine layer moving back in for the sunset.  That also means we’re looking at overnight light SE breezes picking up and changing to SW winds by the time at sunshine hits late morning.  Air temps only in the low 70s along the coast with a little cooling trend and some moisture in the air for Monday and Tues before warming up a tad midweek.  BIIIIIIIIIG huge tide swings going on right now with the upcoming SUPER MOON Full Moon on Sunday night.  Pre-dawn negative lows will actually give the morning sesh a little boost and then the medium low mid-afternoon with really race up to a big high tide a bit after sunset.  Water temps are hovering in the mid to high 60s. This S wind isn’t helping things warm up but it still feels pretty nice!

A little S and wind swell to tide us over through the first weekend of Summer before we get another fun SW/hurricane swell combo.

SPF it folks!
Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:
1)       In case you hadn’t heard…Trestles has been saved …again!

2)      Interesting news…if the water’s clean people will come to the beach more often.  Who knew?  A recent study  proves it!  Keep on keeping those beaches clean…pick up a piece of trash on your way in and set a good example.

3)      Way to go PULU!!!!  Who?  He’s the first Indonesian surfer to win an ASP heat.  Check out the footage from today’s Oakley Pro.  Watch videos from the day’s heats and updates on results here.

4)      Sorry if this bores you but BIG Teahupo'o never gets old for me!
