Howdy! Santa Anas, 80 degree daytime temps and 69
degree water…what more could you want? Oh, right…waves. Well, the prognosis for the immediate future
is not ideal but the long term forecast is looking up. For the next week we’re looking at new SW
swell for Friday in the waist high
range at the better summer spots (Yes, I know it’s November!). Then some NW windswell makes it way into town
for Sat and Sun with swell in the
knee/waist high range in SD but smaller in OC and LA. Late Sun and thru Mon we’ll see knee high waves.
Tuesday things pick up a bit
with some new NW groundswell. This isn’t
all that big with waves in the waist high with chest high sets for the day. For
Wed I’ve seen mixed models. Some say
not much swell for Wed/Thursday but
others say we’ll see the start of some nice WNW groundswell. The focus is more on the Hawaiian Island
and the Baja Peninsula but SD should see some fun
waves pick up from that Aleutian system.
I’ll call it at chest/head high for late Wed and into Thursday. Things back down Friday and quiet down for a bit.
No monster swells on the way as far as I can tell. Northern hemi is looking more active as the
southern hemi starts to quiet down as they roll into summer.
I guess the good
news is that at least the weather is going to be sunny and nice. The Santa Anas will start to break down through
the weekend with air temps in the mid-70s for most of the weekend and low 70s
to start the week. Much cooler sleeping temps in the mid to low 50s with clear
skies and plenty of moonshine at night and sunshine during the day. A bit more marine layer moves in Sunday night
and into Monday but burns off for sunshine by midday. Winds are offshore for the dawn patrols and
switch to SW/W winds by late morning and remain a little breezy for the
afternoon before the evening glassoff. Water
temps in the high 60s still for most of So Cal.
Tides are swinging big time right now as we have a GORGEOUS full moon
tonight. My favorite moon is the
November Dawn Patrol moonset over the water.
Huge morning high tides slowing the tiny swell way down and drained out
late afternoon lows making for great tidepool conditions especially for the wee
ones! Not a drop of rain in site! For the latest update on the El Nino (or lack
thereof) from NOAA check out:
Not a lot of
macking surf in the future but some ripples to keep you in the water for when
the big stuff hits!
Stay wet So Cal!
