Surf Check 5/25/11

Kind of looks fun today. There's a SW in the water being crossed up by a small NW. When the SW sets show up, waves are chest to shoulder high- bigger in the far north part of SD and OC. The SW peaked last night but there's still fun waves out there. Beachbreaks look best.

We've got great weather on tap today too. Currently the wind is W at 5 this morning and it will turn into the normal 10-12mph sea breeze in the afternoon but sunny skies no less and air temps near 70.

Water temps are slowly creeping back up and are hovering around 63. Now some good news and bad news. Good news is that the NW windswell should increase Friday through the weekend and may be overhead in south county SD. We also should have a small SW showing up too on Saturday. The bad news is that we have a late season trough moving down the coast for the holiday weekend. No rain but thick clouds, cool, breezy SW winds, and drizzle. Monday it should clear out. So even though we have some surf headed our way, the weekend looks to be gloomy. I hate May Gray!
