Cheers
San Diego! We’ve had some patchy surf with some pretty
fun windows over the past few days. That
SW is definitely on the outs right now with some left over NW wind swell also
in the mix. Knee to waist high surf this
afternoon with the occasional belly button high set here and there. Look for more smaller leftovers Thursday
morning with knee/waist high surf. The
afternoon should see a small WSW filling in that will show up a little better Friday
morning and peak in the chest/shoulder high range early in the afternoon. That short lives surf will leave us some smaller
but fun waist/chest high surf for Saturday and smaller for Sunday. Expect some NW wind swell to be mixed in
there as well…more lumps and bumps. We
should see the beginning of some new and prominent wind swell for the start of
next week and into the middle of the week.
The southern hemi is quieting down for a bit so it seems the Spring
winds might by our only hope for sizable surf next week. Stay tuned!
We’re
still looking at some nice weather…not too hot, not too cold…along the beach
anyway. Early morning patchy marine layer with clearing midday for Thurs and
sunny skies and earlier clearing for Fri and Sat with marine layer returning
for Sunday. Air temps in the mid60s along the coast. We’ll continue to see some SW winds tonight
and throughout Thursday. Slightly gusty
SW winds for Fri and Sat. Funky little
eddies sitting offshore this time of year eh?
Well, at least the water’s warming up…low to mid 60s in SD county. Tides aren’t too bad but should start to get
a little extreme over the weekend. The
biggest tide swings luckily are happening overnight as we approach the new moon
on Monday.
That’s
all she wrote folks! Crystal ball is
closed for this entry!
Lates!

Notes:
1)
This
Sunday evening (:30pm) will be a cool solar eclipse. The trick is to be someplace that doesn’t
have a marine layer (so, not the SD coastline) and is high up (again, not the San Diego
coastline). And don’t stare at the sun
as the eclipse is going on because you’ll burn your eyeballs! Get “eclipse sunglasses” or watch it through
a pinhole in a piece of cardboard shining on the ground (stare at the ground
not thru the pinhole). Click here for

Ripping
and shredding…if you like those two things then watch the final day of surf at
the Billabong Pro…congrats AGAIN to Jon Jon.
