More fun medium sized surf and sun!

Happy President’s Day!  Tuesday we’ve got a nice NW short period ground swell filling in with some shorter period NW windswell on top of it.  We’ll see fun waves in the chest/shoulder high range with some HH waves at the better winter spots.  Surf should be fairly consistent too so lots of waves to share!  Wednesday things taper off a bit to waist/chest high and then bump up again Thursday as a smaller WNW shorter period swell moves in for more waist high waves.  A slightly bigger NW groundswell fills in Friday. This one will be fairly consistent too but short lived as we really only see chest high waves for the day. Early Saturday things quiet down with waist high waves but it looks like we’re going to start seeing some SW groundswell late Saturday and into Sunday.  The angle of this swell is aimed a bit more at Mexico but we should see some waist/chest high waves at the better summer spots for Sunday and early Monday.  Smaller surf for Tuesday but it looks like a long period WNW groundswell should be showing up around Wed or so.  The high pressure system seems to be kicking all the storms fairly north of us and out of our swell window early so we’ll have to watch the models to see if that swell makes it to us.  Cross your fingers!

Unfortunately, it looks like more fantastic sunny warm weather for us here in So Cal. Slightly cooler to start the week with air temps in the low 60s along the coast a bit more clod coverage but things should clear up by midweek and we should see temps back up into the mid-70s by the end of the week.  No rain in sight for the next 10 days at least!  Mild winds too with light E winds this evening and light SW winds during the day thru Thurs before turning more northerly.  Water temps are in the high 50s/low60s. Cooler temps seem to be south of Pt. Loma.  Tides are moving just enough to give us a little push every day.  For the next few days look for a late morning high tide push going out to a medium low just before sunset. 

 

Looks like some fun surf ahead of us!

Stay wet San Diego!
