Oh
boy…time flies just way too fast. I think
I need to move to a planet further from the sun so the days would be longer and
I can get more done. Anyway, that new SW
swell is filling in. We’re seeing some
super inconsistent SSW swell that unfortunately is combined with some super
short period NW wind swell. That makes
for variable sized waves all over the coast.
Look for waist/chest high at the N and W facing beaches tomorrow with
some chest/shoulder and HH sets surf at the better summer spots in the southern
end of the county and the very north end of the county…or head to the OC or
LA. Should be some fun surf as the storm
that created this had some decent energy with it. Swell peaks tomorrow (Tuesday) with plenty of surf still for early Wed and starting to fade over the second half of the day. Smaller waist high surf for Thursday with more NW wind swell for
the rest of the week and into the weekend.
We’ll have a little bump up Friday
with that wind swell…surf in the chest/shoulder range. This will be low energy and consistent but
not the classic groundswell. Saturday looks like the second half of
that wind swell with waist high surf and the occasional chest high set. Either way
it’ll be ridable. Sunday will be
waist/chest…the remains of the wind
swell and Monday start out in the knee/waist zone but it looks like some SW
swell will help things into the waist/chest and shoulder high at the better
summer spots. There’s a nice tropical
storm down Baja’s way that’s a nice indicator of our potential summer of swell. With the water as warm as it is right now we
could have a nice summer of hurricane swells. This current storm isn’t panning
out to give us any surf but it’s early.
We’re
looking at similar weather all week with Springtime/early summer conditions
that include early morning and late evening marine layer with some spots of
nice sunshine midday. Unfortunately it also includes some winds tonight and
into the morning with tomorrow looking like the windiest day of the week…gusty
out of the W. We’ll see more sunshine
towards the end of the week and even more for the weekend but ironically
slightly cooler air temps. We’re looking
at high 60s Tues, low 70s thru Fri and then mid60s for the weekend. Tides are mellowing out with a medium low in
the early morning and a not-so-low low tide midday. That should provide a nice push for the
evening session but with a bit of bump on it from the days wind. Well, we can’t complain too much because the
water’s already a balmy 63-65 in spots.
Some
fun surf…wishing the wind would bugger out but make the best of it!
Lates!

Just
one today…a shout out and moment of silence for one of surfing’s legendary
shapers, Terry Martin. RIP Terry. 1937 – 2012
