Messy weather NW wind swell then S swell!

Aloha all!  Hope everyone hopped in the nice clean conditions this morning because that’s all about to change!  We’re looking at a low pressure system moving in with a lot of wind swell and wind in the next 48-72 hours.  South winds are already blowing and will continue as WNW wind swell fills in for Monday.  We’ll see some waist high waves out of the SW with sloppy wind swell on top of that.  Same thing for Tuesday with more winds and plenty of WNW wind swell.  As things calm down on Wed we’ll see some steep S swell from Hurricane Raymond who is spinning nicely SW of Cabo and headed in our direction.  The better summer spots will see some waist/chest high surf out of that continuing and joined by new SW groundswell Thursday.  Surf in the waist/chest with some better shoulder high sets around town.  With that added SW more spots will show this secondary S swell than the hurricane swell but the added energy will help boost surf around town.  Surf holds Friday with size tapering a tad on Saturday.  A new NW swell will start to fill in Sunday and into Monday for more waves to kick off the work week.

As for the weather we’re looking at S/SE winds through the night picking up at dawn blowing pretty hard throughout the day and thru Tuesday. Accompanying those winds will be some showers…chance of showers Monday with more chance of showers after about 5pm and thru the night.  More showers on and off Tuesday.  Winds switch from S/SW to W on Wednesday but calm down a little and we might even get some offshores by Thurs/Fri.  Air temps get a bit chilly for us So Cal folks with low 60s during the day thru Wed and a bit more sunshine and high 60s for Thursday.  Clear skies and warming for Friday.  Next weekend looks to be sunny and in the low 70s/high 60s and will be carried on into next week.  Water temps have definitely cooled down with low 60s already in spots and probably cooler temps on the way with all the wind and weather we’re about to have.  We’ll see medium tides for Monday but tides will start to swing a bit more extreme with a high in the AM and low in the early afternoon as we move through the week towards the New Moon this weekend.

Oh boy…more weather, more poopy water but then some reprieve!

Stay healthy but wet San Diego!
