Well, it looks like Mother Nature is pulling a fast one on
us. We’re seeing the tail end of some
short-period groundswell. Friday we’ll see more waves in the waist
high range with some chest high sets.
Towards evening we’re may see some very long period SW swell. Size and consistency should increase into Saturday but unfortunately SW winds and
possible some showers will accompany the swell.
Saturday we should see messy waist/chest high waves first thing in the
morning with size bumping up to the shoulder/HH range. This swell has a bit of SW swell angle on it
so the juiciest part of the swell will fly by San Diego while OC and LA sees
some HH/OH+ waves. Conditions will be
pretty messy all day so I’m assuming conditions will not favor clean
waves. Sunday that SW swell turns into messy WNW windswell. There will be size with waves in the
chest/shoulder range with the background SW swell. The combo swell will continue into Monday as both taper off. Still some chest/shoulder high surf to kick
off the day backing down to waist/chest later in the day and into Tuesday. Size holds with waist/chest through the day
and into Tuesday when we see a new but smaller SW swell. The better summer beaches should see some
waist/chest high surf with shoulder high sets.
Wednesday sees a little
smaller surf but then surf backs down in size Thursday with a new small SW swell filling in Friday.
Weather is going to be taking a bit of a turn Friday. Our sunshine and mild air temps are going to
get cloudy (potentially wet) and chilly.
Friday day temps are in the mid-60s and more clouds with showers in the late
evening and into the wee hours of the morning.
Winds pick up out of the south by midnight with gusty winds peaking
during Saturday's dawn patrol. Winds decrease
slowly through the day but still remain fairly gusty until nightfall. NE and SE winds and clear skies for Sunday and
then we’re back to sunshine and a little warm up Monday. Air temps into the mid/low 60s for the
weekend and then up into the high 60s for Monday and high 70s for most of the
week. Water temps are creeping up slowly
and sit in the low 60s. We’re seeing a
medium high tide in the early morning going out to a low in the early afternoon
and then back up again to a high just after sunset.
Looks like big messy surf to kick off the weekend with a week of nice
sunny combo surf for next week.
Happy Friday! Stay
wet SoCal!
Later!
