Fun stuff on the way!





Ok, get your hall passes ready because you might just miss this next swell if you blink!  Wednesday is going to be small…very small but by the end of the day we should start to see signs of life out of the WNW from a system that’s dropping in on us for a quick visit.  Thursday morning we should see a significant pick up in wave height with HH surf at most beaches around SD, slightly smaller in OC and LA but much improved from the past few days.  Fairly consistent with HH and some OH sets through the day as the swell peaks midday and starts to drop off fairly quickly in the evening.  Friday looks like chest high waves to start the day and a second WNW pulse in the waist/chest range to close out the work week.  There’s a decent amount of W so the west facing beaches will see some closeouts.

Saturday looks smaller with waist high surf or smaller around So Cal.  Sunday another but smaller WNW moves in and delivers some waist/chest high wind-type swell.  This swell hangs out through Monday with some slightly bigger waves Monday morning.  Tuesday we’ll see a new NW groundswell fill in but the energy looks like it’s aimed a bit more south of us so we’ll only really see waist/chest high surf throughout the day.  Not a lot of big swell makers looming out there right now.  Might get kind of quiet for the rest of the Thanksgiving holiday week and into the weekend.  Stay tuned and I’ll let you know if there’s anything juicy coming up!

Weather is definitely moving towards winter as we have cooler daytime air temps in the high 60s and nighttime temps dropping into the high 40s and low 50s.  Ouch…that makes for a brisk dawn patrol!  Morning and evening marine layer make way for sunshine midday for Wed. Thursday we’ll see more clouds and chances of showers for Thursday night and thru Friday.  Luckily this “storm” won’t bring much in terms of wind so fairly glassy calm days as those swells show up.  Things warm up a bit for the middle of the Thanksgiving week but we’ll still see those chilly nighttime temps.  Water temps have dipped a degree or two and are in the high to mid-60s.  We may see a little dip as that WNW stirs up the cooler water.  We’re starting to see those early morning high tides slow things down again and the negative lows draining out in the late afternoon.  

Looks like some fun surf with pretty nice conditions (minus the 30% chance of showers Friday).  Check the tides and pick your sessions accordingly if you can!  I’m calling the Thursday mid/late morning session to be pretty fun!

Stay wet So Cal!
