Hi
y’all! Well, we’re looking at some
pretty small swell right now and things will stay the same for Thursday and Friday. We’re talking ankle to knee high at best out
of the NW. We’ll see a hint of
background S on Friday but no real pick up in surf along the coast. By Saturday
we should see some NW groundswell with size picking up slightly for the dawn
patrol, knee/waist high and waist/chest by the end of the day. Sunday
will see the peak of the swell with waist/chest high surf to start the day and
things will start to fade through the day.
Monday is looking at some
waist high surf with some small background SW groundswell. Not expecting much out of that system…waist
high at the south facing beaches to compliment the winter beaches. Tuesday
see’s both systems fade a bit with Wed
even smaller with a little NW wind swell.
Thanksgiving Day looks like
surf may pick up but mostly with NW swell and a little background S. I’ll see how those swell pan out over the
next 48 hours and let you know if you should offer to help out with
Thanksgiving dinner early or just wait to be on the clean up crew!
Our
weather has been pretty spectacular with clean glassy days and very little
wind. Look for increasing dense fog
tonight and Thursday morning with calm winds and clouds for Thursday night and
an ever so slight chance of showers.
Partly sunny for Fri, again light winds all day with more clouds and
chances of showers thoughout the weekend.
Air temps in the mid60s. Water
temps have taken a dive with high 50s around most of the county. Some huge tide swings with tonight’s new
moon. A really high high tide will hit
mid-morning and drain out quickly to a negative low in the late afternoon. For the weekend the tides are most extreme in
the afternoon with much less movement in the morning. There’s some great
afternoon tidepooling if you can get to the beach midafternoon as the tide is
draining out.
Looks
like a job on the beach at low tide or paddling a SUP for a few miles will be
your best bet for the next few days. Let’s
hope Mother Nature stirs things up a bit soon!
Stay
wet San Diego!

Notes:
1)
I
mentioned tidepooling earlier. Great
time of year for it. Grab a wetsuit, a
pair of reef walking shoes and pair of polarized sunglasses and hit the reef
midafternoon for the best tidepooling.
Don’t forget to leave all the creatures where you found ‘em and don’t take
anything home! And digging critters out
of their hole might make for fun viewing but be gentle. They hide waaaaay back in there for a reason!
2)
If
you’re itching to give to a good cause why not head to the annual San Diego
CoastKeeper fundraiser this Thursday. It’s
toned down a bit this year but the silent auction and drawing at the Del Mar
Powerhouse is still hot! Check out the
event and get your tickets here!
3)
If
you missed either of Donald Takayama’s paddle outs it was obvious that he was
not only a legend in the industry but a friend to so many. Surfline has a nice recap
of both events.
4)
And
of course I’ll leave things with something surfy surfy. There hasn’t been anything on our coast to
report so how about checking out the early rockin’ North
Shore! And the water’s a nice 75
degrees…almost makes you want to move eh brah?
