Hey there! Hi there!
Looks like we’ve got some jump in surf height today and Friday as a significant WNW wind swell
moves on in. Surf will be fairly
consistent and in the chest/shoulder high range for north facing winter beaches
with some inconsistent background SW groundswell in the waist/chest range for
the more south facing summer beaches. Wind
swell will peak Friday afternoon and fade pretty quickly overnight with wind
swell surf in the waist/chest high range for Sat morning. Saturday
afternoon will see some new SW groundswell start to fill in. Again, super
inconsistent at first with the swell becoming more apparent by Sunday morning. Decent energy and surf for summer spots in
the chest/shoulder high range with the occasional slightly bigger set at the
better summer breaks.
That swell sticks
around Monday with similar sized
surf, Tuesday with slightly smaller
chest high surf, tapering off more Wed
with waist/chest high surf and Thursday
the dregs of the swell will hit the waist high range with very little energy. There’s not much activity in either hemisphere
as far as surf generating storms. We’re
looking at a little wind swell for Friday with a little weather throwing
something at us but it’s kind of quiet otherwise.
As far as the
weather goes it looks like we’re going to see more of that patchy fog in the
early mornings and evenings again but clearing to sunshine for most of the
days. Not particularly warm as Spring
conditions keep us in the mid60s all weekend.
A little warm up on Monday and Tues before cooling down a few
degrees. Wind patterns look fairly
common for Spring time too…calm mornings and mild to moderate SW winds by the
afternoon. That means the morning
sessions look to be pretty clean and the afternoon sessions will have some bump
on them.
Tides are starting
to get moving as we see a not-too-crazy high tide in the morning and a pretty
drained out tide for the early afternoon sessions while the medium high tide
fills in for the sunset sessions. Full
moon isn’t until next Tuesday. Water
temps are trying to creep up with these last few S swells. We’re seeing temps
in the high 50s. You could probably get
away with a 3/2 if you’re not already in it…ditch the booties unless you’re
doing the super dawn patrol or moonlight session.
Looks like some
combo before a nice SW groundswell moves into town to kick off next week.
Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:
1)
Lots
going on in the surfing world…but we’ll get to that later. So, check this cool link out…glow in the dark
millipedes
have been found on Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay.
Talk about a sci-fi adventure!
Wild!
2)
And
seeing as it’s Spring time and all I thought it would be good to pass along the
website for the California Native Plant
Society . If you’re doing some
landscaping and would like to be more Planet-friendly how about planting what
is supposed to be here in the first place!
Sorry, tropical plants and lush lawns aren’t natural habitat in arid ol’
San Diego!
3)
And
now…back to surfing…I wish my days in wobbly wind chucky surf looked half this
good…John
John…North Shore…watch it.
4)
Ok,
are you ready for a surf trip of a lifetime?
We’ll Google and Surfing Mag brought back the “Google Earth Challenge
”…find a place on the planet that no one has surfed before, submit the location
and Surfing Mag will send you and a
friend (remember who told you about the contest…your friend Mish!) there if you
win. It’s just that easy! You have until next Sunday to enter. Just email me at least a week before we're supposed to leave and tell me what I need to pack.
5)
And last
but not least…the most surfy surfy drooling link of all…a peek at Surfer Mag’s Photo Issue
. Do not click on this link if you do
not want to dream about surfing all day!
