Huge surf and intense rain on the way!

Super quickie short forecast with the full report tomorrow...

Small (fluctuating with the tide) waist high surf for the next few days thru Wednesday.  Then we'll see some new WNW groundswell fill in Thursday and Friday along with the first really big storm in the past few years. Winds will pickup and blow onshore while the head high surf rolls in all day Thursday and into Friday. The bad news is that the Mother Lode of rain will unleash starting Friday in the wee hours of the morning.  Expect dumping rain all day with gusty onshore winds. Weather forecasts are calling for 1-1.5" of rain between 4am and 10pm. Yuck!  The surf picks up even more late Friday and early Saturday with OH to 2-3' OH but the wind picks up too with gusts forecasted at 30-35mph. That's ugly!  Another band of rain comes through Saturday late afternoon and into Sunday. Surf really picks up and peaks Sunday midday with WSW surf in the double overhead range.  The good news is that the winds will have backed down significantly so things will be cleaning up. We'll still see some moderate SW winds though so conditions will be better but still questionable.

Some higher tide swings will make for some really interesting conditions for the low lying areas around town as that DOH surf shows up.  Much cooler air temps as well!

It'll see how thing progress over the next 24 hrs and update things tomorrow.

All for now...
Stay wet San Diego!
