Fun surf and sunshine ahead!



YES!  Forget that quiet spell…Mother Nature was just taking her time brewing up some good swell.  Some fun surf the past few days and more on the way!  Sunday looks like another fun day with some WNW along the So Cal coast.  Surf remains in the waist/chest range with some stand out shoulder high waves on the sets.  That swell peaks midday and starts to taper off through the afternoon.  Monday morning thru midday will see the tail end of that swell with some new NW filling in later in the afternoon/evening.  Surf picks up for Tuesday with shoulder/HH surf throughout most of town at the west and north facing beaches.  This swell has some nice energy to it with slightly OH sets not uncommon through the midday and latter part of the day.  Still some HH waves for Wed as the swell fades pretty quickly through the day ending with chest high surf by sundown. 

Thursday will see more fading surf starting in the waist/chest range early and waist high by evening.  Friday starts off on the small side but there’s a doozy of a storm that looks like it’s going to hurl some nice energy right to our front door.  I’m calling some very long period swell later in the day Fri with otherwise waist/chest high surf.  Sat will still see that long period swell but it’ll pick up a little through the day.  Sun and into Monday is when we should really see things pick up quickly with well OH surf for at least a few days.  The westerly angle will probably close out most of the west facing beaches but N and S breaks should be good.  OC and LA will get some shadowing from the islands but with so much energy they should still get some good winter waves.  Going to keep my eyes glued to this one and give you more details midweek.  Oooooh, it should be a good one! 

The best news to come along with this swell is that there’s just gorgeous sunshine and warm temps forecasted for the next week.  We’ll see mostly sunny skies by midday every day with some dense fog in the mornings and evenings.  Air temps in the high-60s to low 70s all week along the coast.  Next weekend and into next week looks REALLY sunny and warm (mid –high 70s).  No precipitation in sight for the next 10 days.  We’ll also see pretty calm winds for the week with light N or W winds if at all.  And water temps…HELLOOOOO?  Low 60s along all of So Cal?  HUN?  Not complaining here!  Tides will be swinging big time with the new moon coming up on Tuesday.  Look for very full early morning tides that are draining out all morning to a mid-afternoon super low tide. 

Looks like a nice week of fun surf with some bonus swell on tap for late next weekend and booming into that next week!  Winter swell on the way!

Stay wet So Cal!
