Surf Check


Dreamy little day out there today. Nothing like the solid surf we had over the weekend but there's still some fun chest high sets in far north county SD/OC from the SW with a touch of NW. You'd think it was summer out there with the great conditions except the water is only 60 degrees.
Tides this morning were 5’ at 9am, around 0’ at 3pm today, and back up to 4’ at sunset.
Unfortunately we don’t have much surf coming our way the next few days and the weather will be a little cloudier tomorrow but high pressure builds back in Thursday/Friday and it should stay nice with hazy afternoon sunshine. Look for small waist high sets from the SW until Sunday. Charts are actually showing a weak storm coming through late Saturday into Sunday for a chance of light showers but Monday afternoon we should be back to normal. Just in time for our next swells.
We have a small NW showing up for chest high sets in SD on Monday.
Also filling in is a SW swell that formed a couple days ago and we should have shoulder high sets in north county SD and overhead sets in the OC. Another storm formed on it’s heels and we’ll have head high sets towards Wednesday and overhead sets again in the OC. That lasts into Friday. All in all it looks pretty fun Monday to Friday next week but we’ll have to be content with small surf until then. And in the very far future, charts are showing another NW forming off Japan in a few days- hopefully we'll have another fun NW next weekend.
