Wuddup? Looking at some fun and slightly cleaner surf today with waist/chest surf out of the WNW and some shoulder+ sets earlier in the day. There’s a little steep background SW that might pulse thru every now and then. Both swells are on the fade over the few days and thru the weekend. Looks like waist/chest for Friday and then waist…maybe for Saturday and even smaller for early Sunday. By late Sunday we should see some new SW arrive with inconsistent waves in the waist high range that evening and waist/chest by Monday morning. Swell will last through Tues with chest high sets and backing down slightly to waist/chest for Wednesday. Tuesday we’ll also see some shorter period NW swell which might be accompanied by some unfavorable SW winds. Thursday looks like the SW will continue to fade with a potential NW swell for Fri and into Sat but more weather with that swell too. Some nice activity going on down south with food potential for groundswell for the middle of next week. Still a ways away though. I’ll let you know this weekend.
Well, we saw some sunshine once those clouds (and horrendous N. Country traffic) burned off. Look for N winds to blow al night tonight though so conditions tomorrow morning will probably be kind of chunky on what’s left of the NW swell. More N winds Fri and into the evening but calming for Sat morning and even some E winds to clean things up overnight with light N winds for the dawn patrol turning SW through the day. Light to moderate N/NW breezes through Sun and into Monday. Monday morning looks nice and calm…probably the nicest window with swell for the next 7 days. Air temps are looking pretty nice for the weekend with mid60s Fri but sunshine and mid70s for Sat THRU Monday before cooling down again into the mid 60s Tues and then a chance of showers (basically clouds and SW winds) and cooler temps in the low 60s for Wed. Looks like we might have showers for next weekend too. Booooooo! Lots of water moving with the gorgeous full moon tomorrow. Big tides swinging with a high push mid-morning and going low mid-afternoon. Luckily the biggest high/low swing is in the middle of the night. Great for us surfers and all those little grunion who are spawning…but I digress. Water temps are still pretty bone chilling in the mid/high 50s.
Let’s pray for surf AND warm water! Hope the Easter Bunny brings everyone all the chocolate bunnies they can eat! (I prefer dark chocolate in case you’re wondering.)
Have a happy Easter and enjoy the great weather…oh, and SLOW DOWN on the roads!
Adios!
