Cheers
mateys! Sorry, busy busy work schedule
has been boggin’ me down so my computer time is scare. I’ll try to make up for it now…well, the bad
news is that tomorrow will be pretty small as far as surf goes. We have the
tail end of a crazy steep SSW that’s basically passing us by and the dregs of a
small NW wind swell. That translates
into small bumpy surf to start the day…knee/waist high is my best estimate for Tuesday. The good news is that we’re getting more surf
starting late Tuesday and picking up and up and up Wed thru Friday. By Wed
morning we’re looking at some waist high waves with some chest high sets here
and there. Remember, this is a wind swell so not the nicely times sets like a
groundswell. Increasing swell through
the day will deliver some chest/shoulder high surf by evening and we’re looking
at HH+ surf for Thursday and Friday with surf backing down to
shoulder high early Sat and
waist/chest by Sat evening. The
not-so-good-news is that most of that swell will be tainted by winds making for
less than ideal conditions. (Don’t hate
the messenger!) Sunday is looking to drop off significantly with a few lingering
waves in the waist high range for the morning sessions and then knee high for
the start of next week. There are some
more NW wind swells that aren’t too impressive milling about in the N. Pac but
the Southern Hemi is looking like it might
just produce a nugget if the projections continue on their current course. We even have a Tropical Depression that isn’t
going to deliver any juicy into our swell window but it’s a good sign of things
to come…keep your fingers and toes crossed!
I
think Spring is lingering into our summer this year as the winds will be our
nemesis this week. As the swell picks up
the SW winds will as well. Tues winds
will pickup out of the S by mid-morning.
Wednesday morning, with that incoming wind swell should be a good window
for surf as things start off calm but get pretty gusty in the afternoon. Interestingly, the winds look to be out of
the SE for a good part of Thursday with gusty winds but mainly out of the
SE. There are a few choice spots in the
county that will hold SE wind quite nicely.
Friday the winds turn a little more S and SW making for messier
conditions as that wind swell peaks. I
think Thursday morning will have the best window for that swell…and perhaps Friday
morning early before it gets REALLY gusty.
Luckily the water temps are remaining warm…low/mid 60s all around
town. Tides are making the swing a fair
bit as we arrive at the New Moon tomorrow.
Negative dawn patrol tides push up to medium highs around midday and
then back out to a medium low for the late afternoon session.
Looks
like there will be a few windows of surf this week. Catch them early before the winds get on the
fun NW wind swell.
