Bit of weather then some smaller fun surf

YIKERS!  We finally have rain but very little surf in the next week.  We’ve got messy wind blown W swell right now in the knee/thigh high range thru Friday.  More wind and another small WNW for Saturday with size bumping up just a hair into the waist high range.  Things back down for Sunday…with thigh high but slightly cleaner surf.  Monday kicks off a little WNW starting to fill in later in the day.  Surf starts off pretty small…ankle high but bumps up to waist or so by the evening.  Swell fills in a bit Tuesday and Wed with waist/chest high waves.  Depending on which model you look at there’s a chance of showers next week or it will be gorgeous and sunny during this time…will have to update in a few days and see how the models look then.  Looks like the swell peaks late Wed and into Thurs and then the swell making storms get pretty quiet for awhile. 

The good news is that the window has opened for much needed rain. Even though we’re not excited to surf in poopy water we REALLY need this rain.  We had a good dose tonight so I’d be wary of where you hop in the water Friday.  Winds look to be onshore all night so it might just be a good morning to sleep in or get to the office early.  Slight chance of showers early Friday morning but then clearing and mostly sunny all weekend.  Still some cooler air temps in the low 60s during the day along the coast but potentially warming up for next week.  Some models are calling for a chance of showers…some are calling for rain.  The jet stream is sending more storm activity our way so it just depends on if the small high pressure system that’s sitting out there pushes it north of us or if it relaxes and lets the storm roll into us.

So, a bit more weather and cooler air temps but there’s still some fun surf out there…just watch out for that poopy water and…

…stay wet San Diego!
