Happy Easter everyone! Fun surf for most of the week with some background
SW and new NW groundswell on tap to kick off the week on Monday. Surf in the
waist/chest range with some slightly larger sets at the south facing beaches
and some fairly consistent waves at the west and north facing beaches. Tuesday
we’ll see slightly less surf out of the south as that swell backs off and a
bit more of the NW shorter period groundswell. Surf still in the waist/chest
range but just more NW than SW. Wed we should see a new SW in the water
as surf bumps up into the chest/shoulder range at the better summer spots. There looks to be some SE winds Tues night too
so there could be some nice offshore conditions for Wed morning. Thursday
there’s still waist/chest high surf in the water…mostly SW with some W wind
swell in there. Size tapers off for the
afternoon sesh so hit it on the earlier side to get more size. Friday
things drop off to waist high around most of the county’s beaches. Late Friday we should start to see the first
arrivals from a new SW groundswell. This
looks to be a pretty decent groundswell too so by Saturday morning size should bump up to the chest/shoulder range
but VERY inconsistent to start with early in the day. We should some HH/OH surf by the end of the
day especially at the better summer south facing spots and in OC/LA. And by Sunday
we’ll also see a new WNW groundswell move in giving our winter and west facing
spots a little pick-me-up. That SW swell
peaks early in the morning but SW waves hold in size through the day. The NW builds and moves us into the next work
week with some fun combo surf.
We’re looking at
springtime weather…combo of dense fog, some clearing but air temps in the
mid-60s along the coast. Winds look to
pick up in the afternoon out of the west for Tuesday day but Tuesday night it
looks like we should see some SE winds kick in. That could be good for some
spots for Wed. More S winds through the
end of the week and then the usual light westerly winds by midday for the
weekend. The sunniest day looks like Thursday with air temps trying to top 70. We’ll see a slight cooling for the weekend
with low to mid 60s. Water temp is
creaping up ever so slowly and is now in the high 50s/low 60s. The tides are near zero mid-morning and then
we see a medium high late afternoon before it drops slightly to the medium low.
Looks like some
fun surf with some signs of summer showing with new SW groundswell!
Have fun and stay
wet So Cal!

Ocean Notes:
Hobie Alter, one
of the pioneers of not only surfing but boating too, passed on March 29th.
If you don’t know a thing about him you should really read about his life. Here’s
a great article from Surfline. http://www.surfline.com/surfing-a-to-z/hobie-alter-biography-and-photos_743/
His paddleout was
this past Saturday at Doheny
State Beach
and was clearly well attended.
