Holy
melting surf wax Batman! The good news
is this heat is supposed to break this week (yeh, I know…we really shouldn’t
complain) but the bad news is that there’s not much swell going on after
Wed. Today we actually saw some fun SW
swell. Monday we’re looking at more
leftovers in the waist/chest high range out of the S with some NW wind swell
lumped on top. Tuesday is looking smaller with mostly waist high SW and a bit more
wind swell and Wednesday is looking yet smaller with
waist high topping off the better sets. Thursday look for knee high surf with
some very steep SE swell hitting the buoys but missing most of SD County. This will be another swell to head to OC or
LA for with only a few stragglers making it into our swell window for the
occasional waist high wave. Same story
for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We’ll
see some smaller wind swell on top of the near non-existent SE swell but surf
will remain in the knee high range with the rare waist high wave. I’m not
seeing any big swell makers in either hemisphere. Storms are sliding off the ice shelf a little
too close to Chile
to be much use to us and the N. Pac has a few little squeakers that might actually
throw more NW at us (El Nino?) in the upcoming weeks.
As
I mentioned at the top of the forecast it looks like things might cool down a
bit more this week. Monday and Tuesday look
to be warm and sunny again (high 70s along the coast) but then cooling to the
mid70s and even low 70s by the end of the week and into next weekend. We should also have some cooler nights which
will make for better sleeping conditions.
Calm mornings with light to moderate SW winds for the afternoon. The way the moisture is moving around we’re
still going to see a lot of humidity so the beach will still be the place to be
to cool things off. That being said the
water temps are a warm 72 degrees around town.
As we come off the New Moon last Friday there’s a low tide for the dawn
patrol with a moderate high midday and then another decent low a few hours
before sunset. That should help things
out with a little tide push for the sunset session.
Hope
you all got some fun surf this weekend. If
you or little ones are heading back to school this week farewell to summer…but remember,
we do live in Southern California…land of the Endless Summer (well, until El
Nino hits!).
Have
a great week everyone and please don’t forget to lather on that SPF!

Notes:
1)
With
all of this sunshine just blazing away and electricity bills soaring sky high
perhaps more of you are thinking of going solar. SDG&E is here to help with
their FREE Solar
for Homeowners - Getting Started seminar.
Why waste a good thing?
2)
And if you don’t already have it on your phone
it’s time to download (or update) the Monterey
Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch App. It’s
got up-to-date recommendations for ocean friendly seafood and now has locations
of markets and restaurants where you can find sustainable seafood.
3)
While
things aren’t exactly pumping down in Tahiti the pros still make it look better
than a day in my office at the Billabong
Pro Tahiti. How does it compare to yours?
4)
In
the upcoming months San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will be
replenishing the sand at local beaches.
They will start moving equipment at IB this week, start moving sand the
start of Sept and then work on North
County beaches from early
Oct to late November. For more information
and updates check out their beach sand replenishment website.
5)
And
we’ll end on a nice surfy surfy note… Bali surf
on YouTube!
