Medium/small size surf but good conditions



Hola!  We’re looking at the back end of the latest WNW for Wednesday.  Some waist high surf with the rare chest high set to start the day with size diminishing through the day.  The good news is that there’s another WNW shorter period groundswell on the way so Thursday looks to have some more fun consistent surf in the waist/chest high range for most of the day.  Friday sees smaller shorter period surf in the waist high range and the Saturday is looking pretty small with knee/thigh high surf.  Sunday picks up a bit with some slightly disorganized NW but it leads into a series of NW groundswells as we enter into Monday and Tuesday.  Size Monday bumps back up into the waist high range for the morning sessions and picking up through the day.  Look for some chest/shoulder high waves by the afternoon and the occasional HH sets in the southern end of the county and at the best north facing spots.  A secondary swell adds energy to the mix and the swells peaks mid-morning on Tuesday with those shoulder/HH waves and backs off through the day.  Slightly more angle on this swell so the farther south you go you’ll definitely see some of the larger surf.  Surf for Wed is back down into the waist/chest zone with a few days before the next good groundswell shows up. Models show a nice storm brewing but also the possibilities of some showers towards the end of next week.  We shall see!

We’re looking at mostly sunny skies Wed after the dense fog burns off mid-morning.  More sunny skies and air temps in the low to mid 70s for the next 5 days through the weekend.  A high pressure system will keep any chance of showers at bay for at least a solid week if not two. Our next chance of showers is next Thursday/Fri but we’ll have to see what that ridge of high pressure does.  Pretty light winds for the next 5-6 days.  Should make for some pretty clean surfing conditions.  Water temps are in the high 50s/low 60s around town.  Tides are high in the early morning and then drain out for a mid-afternoon negative tide before heading back up for early nighttime high tide.

Overall it looks like we’ll see some fun shorter period surf with good conditions for the next week.  Some larger surf towards the beginning of next week. 

Stay wet San Diego!
