Did I mention it was small...?

This is an easy one.  The surf was small.   The surf is small.  The surf will stay small through most of next week.  We’re looking at super steep SW passing us by but really not much of anything anyway.  Mostly small NW wind swell on the books for this weekend and most of next week.  Surf in the waist high range at best over the next 5-6 days.  A moderate SW groundswell looks like it should hit late next week for the weekend.  Will give you the 411 as it gets closer but it’s looking good for next weekend.

Weather wise…it was sunny and humid.  It is sunny and humid.  It will continue to be sunny and humid.  LOL…no really, it’ll stay just about the same but with air temps plummeting down into the low 70s (brrrrrrrrrrrrr) for the weekend before picking up again next Monday.  Calm in the morning’s with light to moderate winds by midday.  Patchy clouds for the early AM and sunset sessions.  Water temps still in the low to mid 70s.  Still seeing some mild water movement in the morning but a big drop for the evening session as the tide drains out to a late night low.  Starting to see some bigger swings through next week as we move towards next Friday’s Full Moon.

Gotta blaze…

Ocean Notes:

1)       Here’s a pretty cool link.  If you’re looking for the best locally grown organic food you can use this link to find it…anywhere in the country.  It has farmers markets, CSAs, farms, restaurants…and other sustainably grown food resources.  Check out this Local Harvest link.

2)      Whether it’s “tip time” or “rip time” Surfer Mag’s new all chick mag, “Salted” has it covered.  Here are some sweet pics from the first edition.

3)      “WHOA!”  That’s what you’re gonna say when you see this video of Cloudbreak.  Cause it’s never looked like this before!  Here’s Cloudbreak doing it’s best Teahupoo imitation.  WHOA!

4)      Short and sweet…that’s the theme for today…grinding South and Central American and Mexican surf on Grind TV!
