Salutations! A new NW wind swell is on its way in with
some waist/chest high surf along the coast for Monday morning. The
not-so-good news is that we’re looking at some NW winds to kick up as well and
a blustery day will make mincemeat out of whatever swell there is. Tuesday
the swell backs off rather quickly with waist high to start the day and
ankle/knee high to end the day. Wednesday is looking up for some new waist
high surf out of the NW that should stick around all day and half way through Thursday. The second half of Thursday things taper off
and Friday we’re back into the
really small stuff with knee high surf and interestingly some background SW
swell…yes, SOUTHWEST swell. The better summer beaches will really only see an
occasional waist high set out of it but we’ll take anything at this point eh? Saturday we’ll see some SW in the
morning but for the most part we’re looking at NW wind swell in the knee high
range that will move on into Sunday. The tail end of Sunday should see some new NW
groundswell making its way onto our shores.
At this point it’s looking like waist high waves at best but we’ll have
to re-evaluate in a few days.
Weather wise we’re
looking at some pretty chilly weather with the dawn and sunset patrols taking a
beating! Brutally chilly air temps in
the mid to low 40s a night and east winds overnight make for insanely cold dawn
patrols this week. Daytime temps along
the coast only make it up into the low 60s. Skies will be clear so at least we’ll
see sunshine all week. Monday will have
some significant west winds with gusts up to 25mph. Through the week middays it looks like we’ll
have some moderate westerly winds. Water
temps are consistently in the low 60s which will feel warm compared to the
brisk morning and evening air. Tides are
fairly flat for most of the day with a medium low first thing in the morning
moving to a medium high just after midday/mid-afternoon before moving out to a
pretty low tide a few hours after nightfall.
Tough call on the
surf with a little bit to work with and some chilly winter air temps. Best
bring some rubber to the beach this week!
Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:
1)
I don’t
know about you but I NEVER get tired of seeing perfect…or near perfect Pipeline
even if there are 70 guys out.
2)
Star
Trek meets Foodieville. A group in Barcelona is working on a
3D printer that prints…yes, “fresh” food. Beam me…and my pizza…up Scotty!

Stick
this one on your calendar…December 18th is the Surfrider Volunteer
Appreciation Party
Stone Brew in Liberty Station. Want to
thank Surfrider’s Volunteers for your clean water and clean beaches? Hit up the holiday party and get some
beverages, tasty treats and live homegrown music!
4)
Tired
if flat surf? Head to the mountains to
keep those legs in shape! Mammoth has
12-16” of freshies to give them a nice 25-30” base! Get carving San Diego!

And
just in case you didn’t know…tulips aren’t the only thing going on in Holland
! How about some mega-cold waves! Ok, so maybe December in Lake Michigan might
be better than Holland
but who knew?
Tides for La Jolla (Scripps Institution Wharf) starting with December 8, 2013.
