Surf Check 6/8/11

All kinds of good southwest swell happening today. Feels like summer finally. And even some June Gloom to boot. Looks like the swell is peaking this afternoon with sets a couple feet overhead and it should hold into tomorrow morning.

Beware the low tide around breakfast though- reefs or points will be the call. There is also some 20mph wind off Point Conception and the outer waters which is helping peak up the southwest lines slightly.

Water temps are starting to rebound slightly (around 62 degrees) as the predominant sea breeze the last few days has been from the southwest instead of the dreaded northwest with it's upwelling characteristics.

Weather tomorrow will be typical June Gloom with only a partial shot of clearing up late afternoon. Friday and Saturday look to have slightly better weather. We've also got our first tropical storm of the season- Adrian- and it should turn into a weak category 1 hurricane. Unfortunately though it's not in our swell window and as it does, it will start to die over the colder water. Can't complain though- it's early June and we've got our first storm off Mex.
