Hot summer swells...!



Aloha!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the sizable WNW windswell.  We’re looking at the tail end of the windswell and for Tuesday we’ll see the start of the next SW groundswell.  Tuesday morning should see waist high surf at best and the long period SW will kick in late in the day.  Wednesday will see that steep SW.  Building swell starts at waist/chest with more chest/shoulder high sets by the end of the day at the better south facing beaches.  Thursday there will more consistent chest/shoulder high surf at the better summer spots.  Friday the swell starts to drop with a little NW windswell on top. Surf for Saturday looks smaller from the SW and more NW windswell in the thigh/waist high range. Sunday is more of that windswell with slightly bigger waist high waves.  There’s some nice activity down in the southern hemi.  Looks like more SW groundswell about 8 days out or so...the middle of next week.  

Hot, dry and more hot…that pretty much sums it up for the weather this week.  We’re looking at howling offshore Santa Anas all week with air temps in the mid to high 90s along the coast during the day and nighttime temps in the mid-60s.  Winds blowing out of the east and humidity dropping extremely low.  Things cool down to the mid80s by Friday, mid 70s Saturday and high 60s for Sunday.   Fire danger all week so be mindful of the dry conditions and stay hydrated.  Tides are pushing to a medium high mid-morning and down to a low mid-afternoon before pushing back up to a high tide after sunset.  Water temps are pretty nice and in the low to mid-60s.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the water temperature cooled down a few degrees after the Santa Anas blow offshore for a few days. 

Looks like hot summer conditions with some fun medium and fun summer swell.
Stay wet and hydrated So Cal!
