Surf still looks small and gloomy today but help is on the way. More on that below. In the meantime, we've got a tiny NW/SW combo for sets almost waist high around town.
Wind was blowing light from the E at 3 this morning and the sun is trying to break out from the clouds. Even have a few lingering showers this morning. Water temps are holding at 68- pretty darn good for late October- and the tides are almost 5' at sunrise, down to 2' at noon, and up to 5' again at sunset.
As advertised, we have a few lingering showers this morning and those should be gone by tomorrow. High pressure starts to set up by Thursday and for the weekend- great weather and warm temps in the 80's at the beaches. Gotta love fall.
In regards to the surf, we've got a new NW filling in tomorrow afternoon for chest high waves in north county SD and head high sets in south SD. And as luck would have it, we've got a fun SW swell filling in tomorrow for chest high sets in north SD county and shoulder high sets in the OC. Should be a fun combo swell late Wednesday/early Thursday once the weather cleans up.
In the long term, there's still some activity forecasted in the Aleutians but no home runs; we may though get a little bump from the NW towards the end of the weekend. And the southern hemisphere looks like it's shutting down for some time. The tropics though still are churning out groups of clouds and there's a small chance of another hurricane. Best bet is another storm by Thursday and maybe some S swell towards Monday. But there's no guarantee considering it's late October already! Best bet: get the NW/SW combo on Thursday morning.
