Not much going on out there unfortunately. June Gloom has finally arrived, our water has dropped from 75 down to 70 (with a couple colder spots unfortunately), and the surf is downright small.
Most spots are knee high with waist high sets from the NW/SW. We also have some pretty low tides in the morning and along with the slight S wind and overcast conditions, the small swells are looking pretty unappealing.
Tides the next few days are -0.5' at dawn, up to 5.5' in the afternoons, and down to 1' at sunset. Water temps have also dropped slightly due to a variety of factors and are hovering around the high 60's/low 70's.
As far as our weather goes, June Gloom has finally arrived. I thought we might be past the worst of it when it didn't arrive in May, June, and early July, but I was fooled. Looks like the low clouds may hang around at the beaches all week. High pressure is forecasted though to return early next week with more sun and warmer temps towards Monday.
So if you don't mind a little gloomy weather, then you'll love the upcoming surf this week. We had a fairly large storm a few days ago- not strong but broad- and we'll get some head high sets from it tomorrow afternoon into Friday. The OC will get overhead lines. No NW windswell to break up the swell, so beachbreaks will be walled.
On it's heels is a smaller storm that will send out a SSW swell late Sunday and peak Monday. Look for chest high waves here with shoulder high sets in the OC.
And further out, models show a little storm trying to organize but it's right on the edge of our swell window. Hopefully we'd get a small S swell from it towards 7/25.
The north Pacific is fairly dormant and the tropics are on standby oddly enough- even though we're moving into high gear for hurricane season. But that all could change in the matter of a few days down there. So get the good SW swell this week while you can!
