Some fun SW late Sat and into Sun

Hola SoCal!  We’re seeing the tail end of some smaller SW swell that provided us with some surface peelers.  We’re looking at Saturday to start off small in the knee/waist high range but we should start to see that new SW by sundown.  Look for super inconsistent sets by sundown in the waist high range with slightly larger surf in the waist/chest range by Sunday morning and through the day.  Surf will pick up steadily through the day but really make it’s mark on Monday with waves in the chest high range and slightly bigger at the best summer spots.  Tuesday we’ll continue to see surf in the chest/shoulder range…farther N. County and OC/LA will see some HH surf.  Wednesday and Thursday will continue to see fun surf and then things will start to back down late Thursday and back into the waist/chest range for Friday.  The weekend looks smaller but the forecast is not grim.  Seems to be some more SW swell looming in the distance.  Small for next weekend but perhaps some new SW for the start of next week!

We’re seeing mostly clear skies as we wake up with minimal winds through the day.  Look for a lot of the same through the weekend.  The biggest change will be Sunday as the remnants of the last Hurricane Faaaaaaabio pass through town so we’ll see more humidity, some clouds and a chance of thunder storms.  Not much wind activity associated with that though so look for some nice beach and surf weather for the entire weekend and into next week.  Air temps in the mid to low 70s along the coast.  Some patch clouds in the morning but should burn off pretty early.  Water temps are fantastic…high 60s and low 70s everywhere.  Tides are pretty low (negative low) for the early morning dawn patrol with some decent but not extreme movement midday and then a nice push for the high tide for the sunset session.   Keep your eye out for the big black/purple jellies (you can’t miss ‘em) and sting rays.  Shuffle shuffle shuffle! 

Looking forward for some serious summer fun this weekend and well into the week!

Aloooooooooooooha!

Ocean notes:

1)  This Sunday is the Carlsbad Lagoon Day walk/Run to raise money to preserve the lagoon.  Don't worry, you don't have to do a marathon...there's a 1.2mile casual walk, 2 mile fun run/walk and 3.5 mile run/walk around Agua Hedionda lagoon.  All for fun and all routes end at the BBQ from Tip Top meats at the Discovery Center on Cannon Road.  For more info email lisa@aguahedionda.org or show up on the day of the event or click here for more info.

2)  This is awesome…if there’s anyone I would want leading me into the line up at Trestles it would be Kelly Slater…ESPECIALLY if I was blind!  Check out Slates and blind Brazilian surfer Derek Rabelo catching a few together.  Head high and really feeling the waves…sweet!

Tides for La Jolla (Scripps Institution Wharf) starting with July 21, 2012.
