Surf Check 3/15/11

Lots of size today from the NW. The buoys off central CA started filling in nicely yesterday afternoon and the swell hit our beaches this morning. Currently the surf around town is head high with sets a few feet overhead. South county is bigger- best spots are double overhead. Break out the rhino chasers! The wind isn't too bad either- around 7mph from the SW in north SD and OC with slightly stronger 12mph W wind in southern SD.

The swell has hit it's peak and will be smaller tomorrow but luckily the Pacific has been active and we have another similar sized NW swell on the charts for Thursday.

The weather unfortunately starts to change by the weekend as a couple of fronts move into the region. Saturday it looks like showers are on tap and Monday some rain.

That should clear out and yet another NW will arrive around Tuesday- probably head high+ (a little smaller than this week's swells). Looks like winter won't go away quietly.
