Southern Hemi is sending a little love

Yo ho Yo ho!  Goodness it’s been a slow summer but it looks like the Southern Hemi is waking up and throwing some swell our way.  We’re looking at some smaller waist/chest high steeper SW for Friday at the summer spots.  There’s some WNW windswell on top of that so the most beaches should also see some consistent waves in the waist high range.  Saturday is about the same with a little less S but a hair more WNW windswell.  Sunday is when we start to see the first of three south swells.  Sunday AM will start to see some inconsistent sets in the waist/chest range out of the SW with still some remaining WNW windswell.  By the afternoon we should see more size out of the SW…more chest than waist high.  Kicking off the week we’ll see chest high surf from the second S swell.  This swell is a bit more steep but the energy should give us a nice little burst of energy and more surf in the chest/shoulder range for Monday.   

Late Monday and early Tuesday is when we will see the third and most organized of the three swells.  Energy peaks midday but we should see some solid shoulder/HH surf at the better south facing summer spots in SD.  Lots of steepness on this swell so spots north of SD will see much more surf. Dana Pt. and north will see waves in the HH/OH range.  Wed the surf will back off but there should still be plenty of fun waves in the chest/shoulder range and down further for Thursday into the waist/chest range.  Friday is looking smaller again with more WNW windswell back in the picture but it does look like there should be more swell coming towards the end of next weekend.

Weather is looking pretty stable and nice with no crazy weather in the forecast. We’ll see more morning and evening patchy fog with midday sunshine and air temps in the mid-70s. Winds will be calm in the early AM and late PM with some W and SW winds kicking up a bit in the afternoon. Water temps are feeling great…low 70s around most of SD.  Tides are medium high super early morning and then low in the mid-morning and pushing high in the late evening into sunset.   

Looks like another gorgeous So Cal weekend with some fun surf thrown in there and some much needed energy and SW groundswell on tap for next week!

Stay wet So Cal!
