Happy September Sessions!

Oh goodness…what a few weeks of swell we’ve had!  Lowell and then Marie lit up the coast!  Well, this weekend we’re in for more fun southern hemi groundswell!  Wednesday we’re looking at the smallest day of surf for awhile with waist/chest high waves out of the SW.  We’ll see a small bump up on Thursday with really just more waist/chest waves through the day.  Through the night the next SW groundswell will start to fill in. Friday morning we should see some very inconsistent chest high waves building through the day to shoulder/HH by might fall and some OH sets at the best summer south facing spots.  Saturday will see even more swell and an improvement in consistency as the swell continues to build.  The swell peaks midday on Saturday with HH/OH+ sets especially at the standout spots.  HH/OH waves for the first half of Sunday as the swell starts to fade.  Chest/shoulder high waves by the evening session and chest high to start the next week on Monday and continuing to fade through the day.  Tuesday we may see some energy from Tropical Storm Norbert which is currently tucked down under Baja.  That energy is heading NW but not in our direction so if we see anything I think it will be indirect at best.  The interesting news is that the southern hemi quiets down for a little bit but the northern hemi wakes up early and looks like it will send us a little nugget of WNW swell for later mid/late next week.  I’ll keep my eye on that and Norbert!

We’re still enjoying plenty of summer weather now that there has been a mass exodus from the beaches (YAY!) and school is back in session.  We’ll see cloudy mornings clear to sunny skies and air temps in the mid-70s for the rest of the week.  Light morning breezes make way for the typical mild to moderate westerly winds by the afternoon.  Look for a bit more fog for the weekend mornings and evenings but still plenty of sunshine midday with slightly warmer air temps in the low 80s.  Water temps should remain in the “awesome” category with temps in the mid 70s in SD and low 70s in LA/OC.  Tides are nor moving much midday for the next few days but then we start to see good movement for the weekend as we approach the Full Moon.  Look for a pre-dawn high tide moving slowly out to the mid-morning medium low and back up to the late afternoon high tide push.

Looks like more fun swell for the rest of the work week and some juicy swell for the weekend!  The sandbars should be pretty fun after all of the Hurricane Marie swell we just had!  Happy September Sessions!!! 

Stay wet So Cal!

I managed to snap a few pics at
