New S on the way!

(For some unknown reason the email list function on my blog has started working again!!! I’ve been posting all this time…hope you still enjoy my blog! – Mish)

Aloha summer surfers and surfistas!  Been down with a little bug so sorry for the delay in the forecast.  We’ve got some building swell on the buoys right now. We’re looking at some new SW groundswell.  It’s nothing Earth-shattering but we’ll have some fun waves for at least a few days out of the S.  Looks like waves should start out in the waist/chest range for Wednesday morning…inconsistent of course as all good south groundswells are.  Swell hits about chest/shoulder high with some fun HH sets at the better south summer spots.  Surf holds Thursday and just starts to taper off Friday with slightly less surf but still fun.  There looks to be a bit of wind swell on top of that so all of the SD beaches will be seeing something to ride. Saturday the surf really drops off with thigh high peelers but all is not lost!  There’s a steep new S swell that will bump things back up into the waist/chest range.  The south facing spots will definitely see more swell on this one.  Other west and north facing beaches should see some fairly wimpy W wind swell.  Sunday starts off small but a new long period SW groundswell will fill in during the second half of the day.  Looks like some fun ones.  I’ll see how that swell pans out and let you know!

Looks like we’re going to have a similar weather patter as today…morning patchy fog along the coast clearing midday to give us a little sunshine and then filling in again for the late afternoon evening.  Daytime highs are looking to be in the high 60s/low 70s.  Water temps are NICE…might 60s around most of the mid and north county. Looks like Pt. Loma might still be a little cooler in the mid 60s.   We’re approaching the Full Moon this Sunday which means some more extreme tides.  The most extreme stuff is overnight but we’ll see some movement over the weekend in the morning from the negative low in the wee hours of the morning and then big movement in the second half of the day with a mid/early afternoon medium low going to a pretty high tide at sunset.

A nice fun south on the way with smaller weekend surf but ending with some fun surf on Sunday.

Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:

1)       Kick off the weekend with a good surf flick on Friday night at La Paloma!  Watch “Uncharted Waters – The Personal History of Wayne Lynch” at 7:30pm.  For ticket click here.

2) I’ve lagged on my ocean notes but in case you missed it catch the highlights of the Fiji Pro here …I mean really, are these guys human?

3)     As we dive into summer with our kids and take off on adventures outdoors it might be a good idea to check out this website… http://www.theoutdooradventure.net/ before going anywhere. There are great videos, gear reviews and suggestions for all things camping and hiking.  And maybe buy some green products to take with you from here… http://www.buygreen.com/

4)      And I’ll leave you with this…highlights from Day One at the Oakley Pro Bali where John John pulls the sickest air and lands it and Slater gets bumped early.  Just watch it and see…
