Have some fun surf today out of the NW, SW, and S but it's surprisingly lined up. You'd think with all those swells crossing each other up in the water, there would be more peaks. We probably need a little more shorter interval swell (like windswell vs. our current groundswell) to break it up.
Regardless, waves around town are chest high with bigger sets as you head towards the OC. The NW will be fading the rest of the day while the SW hangs on and the S from Hurricane Miriam fills in a little more. The OC will have some head high sets while SD county stays about the same as today.
There's a pretty big tide swing the next few days with 4' tides at sunrise going to 5.5' at 9am then down to 0' mid-day then back up to 5' at sunset. Water temps are still holding at high 60's to 70.
The weather should get warm again the 2nd half of the week as high pressure starts to build today. Look for minimal low clouds and fog in the morning with temps near 80 by the weekend.
And as luck would have it, we have more swell coming from a couple sources the next few days- just in time for the great weather. First up is another NW coming our way for Saturday. Similar to yesterday's swell, we should have some chest high sets in north county SD and shoulder high sets in south SD.
After that we have a fun sized SW coming for late Saturday too. Sets around town will be chest high with shoulder high sets in far north county SD and head high sets in the OC. That lasts into Monday.
And the tropics haven't completely died yet. We're almost a week into fall and the waters off Mexico keep churning them out. Hurricane Miriam is only a shell of her former self today but we've got another group of clouds trying to form off Mainland. If it gets it's act together by the end of the week, we may get surf towards Sunday/Monday.
All in all some fun surf is coming this weekend with great weather. Make sure to clear your schedule!
