Smaller combo surf and showers



A little here, a little there…combo swell is the name of the game.  Monday we’re looking at some steep NW with some background SW groundswell.  Surf picks up a bit with waist/chest high waves along the coast from both swells.  A little more SW groundswell fills in Tuesday but we’re looking at some foul weather moving into town so conditions may deteriorate through the day.  Look for the better summer spots and the northern half of the county to see more waist/chest high surf with some slightly bigger sets.  Wednesday we’re looking at a new NW groundswell filling in midday.  There’s looking at some chest high surf by nightfall.  Again, inclement weather (south winds) will play a factor in the conditions.  Swell peaks Thursday mid-morning with some chest/shoulder high waves.  The swell starts to fade through the day.  We’ll see waist high waves with some chest high sets on Friday morning.  Saturday we’ll see the tail end of that swell to start the day and a new combo of SW and NW filling in late afternoon.  Look for waist/chest to start the day with inconsistent NW waist high waves at the end of the day and swell slowly picking up through Sunday.  This swell isn’t packing a lot of punch.  The background SW swell should provide some additional fun waves also in the waist high range.

Weather wise we’re looking at some clouds on Monday with a new weather system moving in.  Tuesday will be mostly clouds with a chance of showers Tuesday night and a solid chance of showers Wednesday and into Wednesday night.  Slight chance of showers by Thursday.  This system doesn’t look to have a lot of rain in it and North County will see more than the southern half of the county.  Winds remain the main culprit to junky conditions.  Monday and Tuesday look normal with calmer mornings and winds picking up midday.  Wednesday the south winds pick up mid-morning with fairly gusty south winds for the afternoon/evening and through the night.  South winds through Thursday and lighter S winds Friday.  Air temps in the mid to low 60s through the week picking up slightly for the weekend and start of the next week.  Tides hit medium high in the morning draining out to a big low midday before filling in for the sunset session.  Water temps are in the low/mid 60s.

Looks like some medium sized combo swell that will be interrupted by a much needed visit from Mother Nature and some Spring showers.

Stay wet San Diego!
