Fun SW swell and nice weather! YAY!

NOTE: I will be out of town through June 1st…try not to miss me! 

Whoa…where does the time go?  Fires!  Wild heat!  Crazy dry Santa Anas!  I hope everyone made it through that Solar Vortex unscathed.  At least there was some fun surf here and there if you weren’t evacuating or searching for air conditioning.  Thursday we’ve got some SW groundswell and WNW windswell swell backing off with funky waist high surf around most of SD County and slightly cleaner and waist/chest high surf in OC/LA.  We should see some very inconsistent SW sliding into town late Thursday but Friday is when it looks like that next SW groundswell will be starting to show.  Size picks up around most of So Cal into the waist/chest high range with some shoulder/HH in the northern parts of So Cal. Saturday a juicier SW swell makes it’s way into town and thanks to a nice steady storm down in the Southern Hemi it looks like we’ll have surf in the chest/shoulder high range Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in SD and a bit bigger especially on the sets for LA/OC.  The even better news is that it’ll become more consistent Sun and Mon and there’s another SW on its tail.  By Wed we should see another SW groundswell that will keep the surf up in the chest/shoulder high range in SD and shoulder/HH with some OH sets around town at the LA/OC breaks.  Looks like the southern hemi is waking up nicely and throwing us some love!

Weather wise we should see a little inclement weather tonight and through tomorrow before things clean up and we see some warmer air temps in the high 60s this weekend to mid 70s by midweek along the coast.  Winds will remain a little gusty for Thursday but will die down through the weekend and remain out of the SW.  It IS springtime after all.  Water temps are warming up into the low/mid 60s.  The tides are pushing to a medium high in the early morning and backing out to a midday medium low before hitting the early evening high tide push around sunset.

Looks like some super fun surf!

Stay wet So Cal!
