Oookee dokee, well
it looks like it’s gonna be on the smaller side for Saturday with waist high waves around town out of the NW. We’ll see the rare chest high set in the
southern half of the county at the better winter spots. Sunday
we should see a new little swell start to move in through the day with morning
sessions looking at some waist/chest high waves and size picking up to chest
high by the evening. Monday we’re seeing a but more of this
groundswell mixed in with some windswell from a weather front that will move
through Tues/Wed. Surf will kick off the
week in the chest high range with some shoulder high sets late in the day. Light to moderate south winds later in the day
might be a factor for those later sessions.
Tuesday will see the swell
peak with some chest high surf but south winds picking up at that weather
system moves into town. Both ground and
wind swells drop off through the day. A
new WNW groundswell kicks in Wednesday
(along with NW winds and rain all day) with size bumping back up into the chest
high range overnight. Size building
slightly through the day…chest/shoulder high.
Looks like a good
sized wind swell is going to combo with that groundswell and be knocking down
our door by Thursday morning. This baby is heading due west at us so lots
of closeouts at the west facing spots and beach breaks. Size jumping up into the HH/OH range
overnight so the early sessions will be seeing size immediately. The big hiccup will be the SW winds that are
forecasted to kick up Thurs and Fri as another weather system comes for a
visit. Darn those winds! More wind swell
Fri and Sat with the lingering NW
groundswell in the background.
Ah yes, the
weather. With the 80 degree sunshine and
offshore winds tomorrow you’d never know our week will be fraught with dense
fog on Sat night/Sun as the weather turns then chances of drizzle Monday night,
Tuesday and most likely Wed. The more
clouds as another little system rolls through and a slight chance of showers
for the end of the week. Saturday is
looking like a typical Santa Ana
day…offshore, sunny and warm then Sunday we’ll see much cooler air temps (mid60s), patchy fog, and the start of our weeks worth of S winds. Some clouds Monday with air temps in the
high50s. Air temps in the mid to high 50s for the rest of the week as those
storms roll though…cold storm and with enough winds to be
annoying. We’re mid-moon phase right now
so tides aren’t doing anything radical.
We’re seeing the early morning medium low move up ever so slightly to a
medium high early afternoon and ease it’s way back down after sunset. Water temps are still a little chilly but
nice if there’s sunshine and dry offshores.
If the winds
cooperate Thursday could be fun…if not, it could be a washing machine out
there. Enjoy the sunshine while we have
it!
Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:
1)
In
case you hadn’t heard a 10 ton meteorite!
buzzed through out atmosphere today over
in Russia
and it’s wasn’t exactly just a brilliant show…as 1200 folks are injured, mostly
from shattered glass as the shock-wave hit!
You have to see it to believe it! There are a bunch of videos on this
page. Can you say “kryptonite” boys
and girls?
2)
Plastic
labeled as “hazardous waste”? Yup, might
happen some day if we keep letting it slide right into our oceans!
3)
Not
big but perfect Rincon from last Tuesday’s awesome swell! Yes, take a peek!
4)
You know,
maybe I posted this last June or maybe not but you just can’t pass up photos of
pro surfers ripping epic Cloudbreak. Worth a second look don’t you think?
