Surf Check 1/31/12

Surf looks fun today. I was originally thinking it wasn't going to pick up until this afternoon but we already have chest high sets this morning from the WNW. The weather is holding up too and we have medium tides all day.

Looks like it will bottom out around 1' before lunch then head up to 2.5' around sunset. Tomorrow should be about the same with some shoulder high sets in south county SD and Thursday we have a reinforcement from the NW for head high sets in north county SD/OC some overhead sets in south county SD, and chest high sets in south OC.

We've got a weak cold front moving through nor-Cal today and it will kick up our low clouds/fog down here tonight through tomorrow. High pressure builds in behind the front and we've got great weather Thursday through ealry next week at least. Most likely moderate 'Santa Anas' for the OC Friday/Saturday and calm to light offshroe in SD. Pretty much a carbon copy of last weekend.

On the surf forecast front, we've got yet another head high+ NW lining up for Saturday with overhead sets in south SD and chest high sets in south OC. Along with the good weather this weekend, should be a good time to get a surf in. Doesn't it always seem like Super Bowl weekend has surf?!

The south Pacific is pretty quiet but there's a storm on the charts that may organize towards 2/4. It's far under south America and will be due south for us, but we may get a chest high south for the OC towards the weekend of 2/10.

All in all some fun waves and good weather the next 7 days. Can't complain.
