Well THAT was fun!
I hope everyone survived the MASSIVE waves we had last weekend. There’s more where that came from. Plenty
more swell on the way for the next week.
Chest/shoulder high waves out of the WNW on tap for the Friday morning session. Surf should start picking up too so there
might be some HH sets…even slightly bigger in the southern half of the
region. A new WNW is filling in so by
midday we should see some fairly decent HH/OH waves. This groundswell doesn’t
have super long intervals so surf will be decently consistent. Well OH-OH+ by nightfall. The swell peaks Saturday morning with OH waves at first light. Things taper off to
abut shoulder/HH by evening. Sunday sees chest/shoulder high waves
tapering off quickly to waist high by sunset.
Another new NW makes it way into town for Monday with surf staring off on the smaller side and then filling
in to chest/shoulder high by midday.
Size holds through the night and through most of Tuesday. There’s more N in
this one so the breaks farther south and the better Winter spots will see
slightly larger surf. Size decreases for
Wednesday with waist/chest high surf
and waist high by the evening session. Smaller
surf Thursday but it looks like
there may be yet another small NW waiting in the wings. The storms are sort of small so the swells
aren’t huge…fun but not huge.
The So Cal version
of the Polar Vortex brought us some much needed rain and some INSANELY big surf
but that’s all gone now and we’re looking at Santa Ana type weather for the weekend.
Before that we have a little chance of drizzle tonight and in the morning with
partly cloudy skies all day…probably more so at the coast with some sunshine
inland. Then we’ll see some sunshine all
weekend with air temps in the high 60s for Friday and then mid to high 70s and
maybe even 80 by Sunday and clear skies.
Evenings will see east winds and light to moderate west winds by
midday. Things cooling off and clouding
up a little for the start of the week but then warming up midweek and sliding
into a sunny weekend next week. Water
temps got a boost with that last swell as it swept up from the south. Readings
are in the low 60s around most of town and maybe a hair cooler closer to the
border and at the lower tides.
Mid-morning medium low moving slightly up to a late-afternoon/early
evening high.
Looks like some
fun surf for this weekend and nice weather on top of that! Stay wet San Diego!

Ocean Notes:
1)
Well,
I couldn’t very well pass up all the insane fotos of the massive swell on the
biggest days EVER. There’s Youtube (lots more on
YouTube), Surfline,
Surfing Mag,
and of course, Surfer
Mag.

Peahi was
doing it’s thing and almost took a few surfers down.

And
how about this wipeout
down in Tazzieland! This is their SUMMER
surf!!! It amazes me that we don’t see
more wipeouts like this. Glad the dude
survived!
