Meeeeeeeeeeeeelting!
Hot enough for ya today? Saturday
we’re seeing the tail end of some steep SSW swell today and tomorrow. The best summer spots and far north San Diego and Orange
County are still seeing
some fun waves in the waist/chest range while the rest of us see mostly
knee/waist high waves out of the WNW. Sunday things will back off even more from
both directions with knee/waist high surf just about everywhere if you’re
lucky. Monday we get a shot of small WNW across our bow as waves bump up
into the waist high range (remember, I said it was a small WNW). Surf remains about waist high all day and
pretty much dries up for Tuesday and
Wednesday with knee high surf again. Late Wed we’re expecting some longer period SW
swell. Size bumps back up into the waist
high range with north SD and Orange
Counties picking up some
chest high sets throughout Thursday. That swell is joined by a small NW to give most
beaches some chest high surf by the days end.
OC and LA sees steep waist/chest high
S thru Friday while SD sees
more of the small NW with waist/chest high surf to start the day and tapering
off to mostly waist high surf by the end of the day and into Saturday. The Southern Hemi
seems to be dishing out some interesting activity. Most of it is pointed at S. America, New Zealand or
Mainland Mex. It looks like it might be
getting pretty quiet in these parts for awhile.
Hate to say it but
this weather is HOT! We need a boatload…make
that 5 or 10 boatloads of rain but it looks like sunshine is all we have in our
future! There’s lots of high pressure in
our forecast which means sunny skies and hot temperatures and low
humidity. It also means hot offshore
winds. What little surf we will have will at least be fairly clean! Air temps in the mid-80s thru the weekend and
Monday. Expect a bit more moisture to
roll in Monday night and into Tues. That
will bring us some nice cooling as air temps head back into the mid-low 70s
along the coast and slightly lower (low 70s) but still mostly clear skies for
the end of the week and into the weekend.
As we head towards the new moon next weekend the tides will start to get
a bit more extreme.
For the next few
days we’ll see pre-dawn high tides draining out all morning to a near zero or
negative tide midday/early afternoon and then back up for the evening sunset
session. With the tiny surf and minus
tides tidepooling should be really good. Water clarity is also pretty awesome
these days so grabbing a mask and snorkel isn’t out of the question
either! Water temps is in the low
60s. I don’t think it ever dipped below
60s this winter! YOWZA!
Head out and go
for a paddle or swim! Enjoy the ocean
and don’t forget to lather up on the SPF and pick up a piece of trash while you’re
out there! A clean ocean makes for happy
healthy surfers!
Stay wet So Cal!
