Surf Check

Had some fun NW swells the past few days. Today was the best of the swells with the latest NW peaking this afternoon and a few head high sets to be found around town.
Tomorrow we have leftover NW swell for shoulder high sets but there will be a problem with the wind as a weak cold front moves through. Look for overcast skies tomorrow and breezy conditions.
Good news on Thursday is that as the cold front exits the region it will leave behind a new short interval NW windswell and clean conditions with offshore winds in the morning. We'll have more head high sets and peaky waves.
For the weekend though, high pressure will block any storms from heading our way so we'll have small conditions and sunny skies through early next week. Models are FINALLY hinting at a pattern change the 2nd half of next week and we may get rain. Maybe.
Good news further out is that the models are showing more NW headed our way and we should have more swell towards late Tuesday/Wednesday of next week.
As far as the tides go, we have a 1' tide around sunrise, up to 4' at lunch, and down to 1' again at sunset. Water temps are holding around 60. Enjoy the week and get some surf on Thursday before it goes flat this weekend!
