Fall is such an
interesting time for surf and weather!
We’re looking at some NW wind and a hint of SW groundswell running along
the coastline right now. Waist/chest
high surf kick off Tuesday morning
but things slide down from there. Look
for knee/waist high surf for the second half of the day and into Wed.
The good news is that there’s more swell out of the NW that will fill in
midday Wed. Surf bumps up into the
waist/chest range by nightfall and by Thursday
morning we should see some waist/chest high surf with shoulder high sets. This is a quickie fast and furious swell so
size jumps up into the shoulder/HH range by midday, peaks and leaves as quickly
as it came. By evening we’re back to waist/chest and waist by Friday morning and fading fast. By Saturday
morning we’re looking at thigh/waist high waves. Technically a new SW groundswell should hit
the buoys BUT the direction is too steep for most of SD to see any action. Sat and Sunday
we’re looking at thigh/waist high waves from NW wind swell and in the better
summer breaks we might see the occasional waist high set. Now, Monday
it looks like there’s a chance of more SW groundswell. Both hemispheres are still kicking...
Here’s the other
half of our interesting fall…the weather.
A funky little weather system is going to swoop into town on Tuesday
night after a beautiful mid-70 degree day.
Patchy fog on Wed morning gives way to light easterly winds and low
70s. A chance of drizzle for Wed night,
cool air temps (high 50s) and winds turn out of the south east and blow all
night. Friday the winds will turn and we’ll
see light onshore winds but clear sunny skies.
It’s definitely more Fall type weather.
The weekend holds sunnier skies, warmer daytime air temps in the high
70s/low 80s and nighttime temps in the high 50s/low 60s. Water temps are hovering in the mid/high 60s
with a few nice 70s here and there.
Tides are somewhat mild this week as we’re post full moon.
