Happy holiday all! Some
tiny surf going on around town but that’s all going to change in the near
future (figures cause I’m heading out of town until Saturday). Surf for Tuesday
and Wednesday is looking quite small still with knee high waves at
best. Thursday things start to change with some sizable surf building as
low pressure system heading into town.
The day starts small with knee high waves. Size picks up through the day with waist WNW
high waves by the evening and some chest high sets. Then things get interesting on Friday.
By the time everyone wakes up from their turkey slumber on Friday
morning the foul weather will have set in but the surf will have picked up to
shoulder/head high with some bigger sets.
Size jumps up through the day with size maxing out midday in the OH+
range. I would imagine some folks might
be a little excited by this…eh? There
will be a fair amount of west in this swell so expect some lined up waves and
closeouts at the west facing beaches. Size backs off for the second half of the day after
it peaks with size in the HH+ range by nightfall.
Saturday morning
looks like some chest/HH surf quickly diminishing in size to waist/chest high
by the afternoon. Size will back down to
thigh high for Sunday as another but
smaller NW groundswell move in for the start of the work week. Surf in the waist high range for Monday with size peaking late and
backing off for Tuesday. After that little teaser it looks like things
will get quiet again as the Northern Hemi doesn’t show any signs of good swell
makers. There is some activity in the Southern Hemi but we’ll have to see how
that pans out in the next week.
Weather could be the spoiler this week as there’s a chance of
showers Thanksgiving Day and into Friday.
It’s still 50/50 so hopefully it’ll just be a bit of SSE winds and
clouds. Tuesday should be nice for those
who are traveling and mostly sunny Wed. Clouds move in Wed night and chances of
showers Thurs-Fri. Sunshine showing up
again for Sat, Sun and Mon (air in the high 60s) before we see the next low
pressure system roll in for Tuesday.
Then another chance of showers and more moderate S winds. Water temps are still holding in the mid/low
60s. Tides are starting to get a bit
more extreme as we head towards the New Moon.
High tide in the wee hours of the morning back off slightly to a medium
low mid-morning and then up to a medium high in the late afternoon. As we head to the end of the week look for super
high tides early morning and negative tides midday/early afternoon. Water quality should be ok by now after all
that rain. Heads up if it rains again
over the holiday.
Looks like some juicy swell heading our way with a chance of
some S winds and a bit of drizzle to accompany it. At this point…we’ll take anything!
Stay wet San Diego!
