Small then new combo on the way

Oooooooook,  we’re looking at the tail end of  some combo WNW wind and SW groundswell.  Sunday looks like some pretty small surf with knee/thigh high surf.  Monday morning will start off pretty small but by the end of the day we should see some new NW start to fill in.  Hoping to see some thigh/waist high surf by nightfall.  Tuesday the swell looks to keep filling in a little with waist high through the day with some background SW swell backing it up.  Wednesday we’ll see a nice combo of both NW groundswell with that background S swell.  Surf looks to be in the waist range around most of town with some chest high stand outs at both south and north facing beaches.  Swells peak Thursday with some more waist/chest surf.  Things back down a little on Thursday with waist high surf.  Things get pretty small again Friday with knee high surf back in town.  Southern Hemi and Northern Hemi both have some activity so we should still have some surf on its way.  Nothing to miss work over but something to slide on!

So much for clear skies on the coast.  The dense fog is moving in and we’ll see plenty of it for the next few days.  Thick fog blankets the coast in the mornings and late afternoon/evenings.  We should see some patchy sunshine midday.  The good news is that this should keep the winds down and things fairly clean in the lineup Sunday thru Tuesday.  Air temps in the low/mid 70s with a little warming midweek.  Water is cooling down with temps in the 65-67 range with some cooler temps spotted around O’side and south of La Jolla.  We’re seeing some BIG tide swings with a pretty high tide mid-morning draining out to a negative low tide in the early evening.    That should calm down a little as we move away from the big full moon!

Some fun groundswell on its way for midweek with foggy but clean days.  Have fun and stay wet San Diego!
