Ah,
SW swell…you are so elusive…unless you know some good south facing beaches…then
you’re stoked. This swell has a bit more
steepness in it than I thought it would so many spots aren’t seeing a lot of
swell but the best south facing summer spots are finally seeing some fun
waist/chest high surf this afternoon. Tuesday looks like more swell but from
about the same angle but more consistency.
Look for waist/chest and some shoulder high surf at the better summer
spots around SD County again and the swell peaks in the midmorning. Some stand out head high sets at best. Throw a little NW wind swell in there to add a
little lumpiness into the action. Things
will start to fade out in the evening and Wed
surf will back down to waist/chest with waist and the occasional chest high set
for Thurs. Friday
looks like thigh to waist high and only some knee to waist high local windswell
for the weekend. We might see some long
period SW with much better direction squeak through over the weekend but it really won’t fill in
until later in the week with yet another SW behind that. The size on both are still questionable with
the second swell looking slightly more promising. Stay tuned!
Weather
wise we’re looking at more clearing tomorrow and Wed compared to the past few
days of overcast muggy weather. That
just means it’ll be sunny and muggy as the humidity will stick around for at
least 3-4 more days. Winds will be light
at night so glassy morning surf should prevail.
Moderate onshores for the afternoon without much glass off for the
evening sessions. Tides will definitely
be a factor as we’re still seeing some pretty low tides pushing up to a medium
high tide midday and then zipping back out to a medium low y sunset. Water temps are pretty darn nice right now
especially if you’re surfing midday when the sun pokes out! We’re looking at high 60s and low 70s all
around town.
I
think that does it for me…look for some fun mid-morning and late
afternoon/evening steep south swell tomorrow and Wed.
Adios
amigos!
