Surf Check



And the train keeps on rollin'. After a fun weekend of WNW surf, we have another reinforcement filling in today. Spots around town have head high sets this morning and down towards SD there's overhead+ sets. The air is clear and cold again this morning with temps near 40 and the water isn't much better at 56. Looking pretty fun out there today.
Tides the next few days are 2' at sunrise, peaking at 5.5' mid-morning, then dropping to -0.5' right before sunset.
Our weather the next few days looks fantastic as high pressure is in control for sunny skies. The only downside is the cold temps with low 40's in the morning and low 60's during the day. As luck would have it though, high pressure strengthens a little more at the end of the week and we get temps near 70 at the beaches. Towards Sunday though high pressure starts to break down and the return of fog looks imminent. By Tuesday we may get another shot of rain.
With high pressure in control that unfortunately means 1 thing- blocking our swell producing storms. Looks like the end of the work week is pretty small around here.
With high pressure breaking down on Sunday though that fortunately means 1 thing- the return of swells! As the next storm approaches, we get a shot of more head high NW swell filling in on Sunday. Sure it may be foggy/overcast but it's better than no surf, right?
Charts in the southern hemisphere are also showing a fairly large band of clouds trying to organize about a week out. If everything holds together, may we actually see a good SW swell towards the end of the month? Keep an eye on Twitter/North County Surf for all the latest updates!
