Happy
Holidays everyone! We’re looking at a
nice new NW swell filling in tonight just in time for Thanksgiving and the
weekend. We’ll see some nice fun waves
for Thursday ranging from chest/shoulder
high in the morning to some solid shoulder/HH waves by midday with OH waves at
the standout winter spots. With the
angle of the swell the north facing breaks farther south will be picking up
some of the larger sets. Look for the
swell to peak through the night with some lingering HH+ waves for Friday morning and then starting to
fade to chest high by midday. We’ll also
see some SW background groundswell kick in halfway through the day so our
summer beaches will see a little bump up in swell. Saturday
it looks like we’ll see the remains of the NW with more of that SW swell. Waves in the waist/chest high range at most
beaches. Sunday will see the leftovers from the SW swell with waist high
waves with some funky little back to back NW wind swell appearing at the winter
spots. Waves in the waist high range
from those swells carrying on into Monday
and Tuesday. Looks like some super
late season SW groundswell appearing for the middle of next week. Some
interesting storm activity going on down in the Southern
Hemi that’s kind of odd for this time of year. I’ll keep and eye on it and let you know.
The
long holiday weekend looks pretty spectacular as far as weather goes. We’re seeing sunshine though the entire
weekend with air temps warming up into the high 60s for Thanksgiving Day and
high 70s by Saturday before dipping back down to the high 60s for Sunday and
into the start of next week. Expect some
cool nights along with patch morning fog in the mornings. Winds will be mostly calm with a little west
breeze for the afternoon. Pretty
gorgeous conditions if you ask me! Tides
are pretty high in the pre-dawn hours and dropping to a medium low by about
midday before turning around for the sunset session medium high tide push. Good tides for the new swell! Look for some more extreme water movement as
we get into the weekend with the morning high tide slowing things down a bit draining
out to the early afternoon low. Water
temps are a bit chilly in the high 50s.
Looks
like some fun surf for the next few days!
Enjoy the long weekend and eat yourself silly!
Stay
wet San Diego!

Notes:
1)
With
the Thanksgiving holiday upon us I can’t help but post this article about Vegan Thanksgiving recipes. The butternut
squash mashed potatoes and sweet potato and chard fritters look pretty dang
tasty!
2)
And
here’s a wonderous sight I had to share…a rare albino
humpback whale! Very cool!
3)
Check
out this article about Gaviota Coast, the last 20 miles of unspoiled coastline in Southern California.
You can imagine it’s a heavily sought after chunk of land by
developers. The fight to keep this
pristine land just that…pristine needs your help to create a documentary to
spread the word. Read about the project here feel free
to help out.

And
to really get you in the mood here are some pics from Pipeline! This is the swell we’re getting now…but
Island Style!
