Aloooooha all! Sorry for the delay…out of town and sick as a dog the past few weeks so my computer time has been short. The good news is I’m better AND we have a nice little SW groundswell for the rest of the weekend. Sunday will see some fun waist/chest high surf around most of town with some more solid chest high waves at the better summer spots. Solid size through the day with the tide dictating the quality as we approach the New Moon. Monday will see a slight drop off in size with waist/chest for the dawn patrollers and waist high by nightfall. Tuesday will see a tad less surf with thigh/waist high through the day and a little more NW windswell moving into place. Wed and the rest of the week is looking on the small side with mostly knee/thigh high left over south mixed in with some new WNW wind swell. Late Thurs and Fri will see a new little and fairly weak SW swell in the waist high range mixed with that WNW wind swell. We’ll move into next weekend with the end of that SW and WNW combo. Not a lot on tap for the near future as both hemispheres are kind of quiet right now. The model indicates a good sized storm down south that might pop out from behind Oz but we’ll see how that storm develops over the next few days before calling and swell from it. Unfortunately, no love from Tropical Storm Gil or that Tropical Depression Eight-E unless you’re heading to the Island …prepare for good sized wind swell!
We’ve had some pretty nice days lately with overnight clouds clearing by late morning and sunshine for the bulk of the day. Looks like more of the same with highs in the low 70s and overnight lows in the low 60s along the coast. Winds look fairly tame too with some light to moderate west winds midday. Overnight Sunday look for some slightly more breezy conditions that will probably put a little texture on the water for the dawn patrol but otherwise the weeks looks pretty nice. We’re seeing a mild high tide push for the early morning session dropping out to a mild low in the early afternoon before bumping up to a decent high tide just after sunset. New moon is Wed so we’ll be seeing more extreme tides as the week wears on. Water temps are trying to warm up but these darn NW wind swells are keeping it down. We have a nice little window of slightly warmer water temps in the mid to high 60s.
Hope everyone has a Sunday Funday and gets some surf!
Stay wet San Diego

Ocean Notes:
1) Hit up the last day of the Ford Supergirl Pro Sunday in Oceanside
2) This Sunday is not only Funday but it is HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTT Awareness day! If you’re a smoker you know where to stick that thing right? How about that handy dandy ashtray in your car? No need to flick it out the car window! Or perhaps one of the many trash receptacles that are gracing our City’s beautiful sidewalks? And heck, don’t make it just one day…hold on to your butt EVERYDAY!
3) Oh and it looks like there’s some juicy activity down in Indo! Padang
4) And if you’re interested in building your own wooden surfboard sign up NOW for the 4-day class at Patagonia Cardiff. For more details check out www.grainboards.com. The class isn’t until Oct. 18-21 but the class will fill up for sure!
