Kinda small and then some WNW

Greetings and salutations all!  Getting back into the groove after a little R&R!  Looks like we don’t have much going on right now with just some knee high surf around town.  Sunday to pick up just a hair out of the NW and it looks about knee high and waist high sets. Surf picks up a little for Monday and into Tuesday with waist high waves.  Looks like a little hiccup of WNW windswell for Wed/Thurs with waist high surf.  Looks like the funky jet stream is pulling a number on us and sending a TON of surf directly to Hawaii but leaving very little for us.  The big swell that will hit the islands this week will reach us late Friday and into Saturday but we’re looking at chest/shoulder high surf out of the WNW.  It’ll be a nice pick up from the week of relatively small waves but definitely not Opening Day at any of the local winter breaks. Not to mention it’ll be fairly short lives with surf with the swell peaking Saturday morning (crowded much?) and chest/shoulder high surf diminishing fairly quickly through the day.  Sunday will have some leftover waist/chest high surf and then things get kind of quiet again around town. 

The weather is also pulling a number on us…as the two are related of course!  We’re looking at some dense fog in the early AM and late PM with late morning clearing and air temps in the high 60s for Sunday through Tuesday.  Then we have some interesting heat building in for the end of the week with high 70s/low 80s for Wed through Friday before cooling back down into the high 60s again for the weekend.  Winds look to be light out of the NE in the AM and out of the W by the afternoon.  Water temps are definitely cooling down with low to mid 60s everywhere.  Tides are starting to swing a little more with a medium low in the mid-morning pushing to a medium high late afternoon draining out for the end of the day.  More extreme tides are we move into the work week with higher morning tides draining out all day and pushing up for the evening sessions.

Looks like some fun surf potentially on the way for the end of the week with some smaller stuff for the rest of the week.

Stay wet San Diego…the big stuff is bound to get here eventually!
