Well, we have
swell all over the place! That nice new
SW is steamrolling its way into town Wednesday
morning. It is, however, a groundswell
so it’s not super consistent yet but when the sets come…you’d better be
ready! I saw 5-6 waves in a set this
evening! Waves throughout SD county in
the HH/OH+ (6-8’ faces) range with bigger sets rolling through parts of OC and
LA. Some of Northern
LA will get some island shading but most of So Cal is seeing surf.
It’s being accompanied by a WNW swell
that will fill in more late Wed and into Thursday. Better consistency from this SW swell later
Wed as the swell peaks but size remains about the same. Thurs the SW drops off
a little and more WNW fills in. It’s
shorter period so it may just put some bump on the SW waves. Friday
both swells drop to chest/shoulder in the morning and tapering off to
waist/chest by nightfall. Sat and Sunday will see smaller SW surf…waist high…with still some
lingering WNW. Late Sun and into Monday there’s a hint of SW but it’s
not really aimed at our window so waves will be inconsistent and in the waist
high range at best. By Tuesday it looks like Hurricane Polo,
the next storm will be sending waves by us.
It doesn’t look like Polo will deliver however as it’s hugging below
Cabo and shooting swell NW of us. I don’t
even think OC and LA will see much of this one.
After some quiet time it looks like both hemis are gonna deliver more
surf. Head to and island in the Pacific (northern
or southern) for the best stuff!
The big news is
the weather! It was crazy in some party
of San Diego County!
Crazy 60-70mph winds with driving sheet sideways rain and down trees
everywhere. We can thank Hurricane Odile
who just decimated Cabo San Lucas and most of Baja California for that little surprise. The good news is that the air temps should
really decrease over the next few days. We’re looking at low/mid 80s along the
coast for Wed and low/mid 70s by Friday. Mostly sunny with some patchy fog in
the early early morning. The bad news is
that the humidity will stay and things will heat back up next week. Light offshores for Wed AM but otherwise W in
the afternoon and then S winds kicking in Wed night and into Thursday before turning west again in the
afternoon. Mostly light winds however so
nothing to fret too much about. No
thunderheads, lightning storms or torrential rain in the forecast. Tides are fairly flat during daylight hours
with extreme tides overnight. Very
little push or drainage for the next few days until the weekend. Water
temps still in the low 70s along the coast…more south swell should mean more
warm water (and awesome fishing!).
Looks like a few
fun days of surf coming up! Stay
hydrated, surf your brains out and don’t forget to share! Live Aloha!
New swell filling in!
