Alooooooooooooooooooooooha! Ok, so I took a little longer maternity leave
than I had anticipated. Two and a half
years isn’t too bad, is it? I was
recently inspired to get back online and start doing the surf report again. It
also helps that I’m back in the water on a more regular basis. Anyway, let’s
get back to work and look at the next week of surf.
We saw some fading WNW swell with some new WNW filling
in. Surf in the chest to shoulder range
at most west and north facing beaches with the occasional head high set rolling
through the lineup. Tuesday thru
Thursday, we should see size and energy level fade a little with waves
in the waist to chest range with some shoulder high sets. Friday
is when our next real swell shows up. Waves
are waist high range in the morning and the new WNW starts to fill in midday
with waves bumping up into the chest/shoulder range for the afternoon
sessions. Looks like head high waves overnight
and into Saturday morning.
The swell peaks late morning and fades slowly back into the
chest/shoulder range through the day. Luckily, another quick WNW fills in Sunday,
so we’ll see more shoulder plus waves for the first half of the day. Swell fades in the afternoon and waves settle
back into the waist high range by Monday. The long range models look like there’s
another good NW heading our way. Looks
like Tuesday we should see that one shows up but I’ll keep you posted.
Weather is looking like it should cooperate. We’ll
see clear sunny skies for the next week. Air temps in the mid to high-70s along
the coast and light SE and offshore winds thru Wed. Tuesday night it looks like
winds might get a little breezy out of the SE overnight. That could put some
bump on the water for Wed morning. Winds
calm down through the morning but then turn northerly thru the rest of the day. Wed night the winds turn onshore and flip
flop from on and offshore through the weekend. Most of it will be light breezes
with no major winds to mess things up.
Water temps are still balmy and in the mid to low 60s. A few more of
these northerly swells should cool things down so enjoy it while you can.
Nice to be back in the water more consistently and
back online!
Stay wet San Diego!
