Not much out there today except for sunny skies and small combo surf.
We've got waist high waves from some NW windswell and S tropical swell from former Hurricane Rachel.
Water temps are 68 degrees (summer seems to on it's way out- don't expect 75 degrees again until at least next summer) and the tides are about 3' at sunrise, up to 5' mid-afternoon, and down to 2' at sunset.
Our weather as advertised is fantastic today. Not a cloud in sight and temps running in the mid-high 70's. High pressure is setting up shop and we're only going to get warmer. By Saturday we're peaking with temps close to 90 at the beach and light winds- maybe even slight offshore. As it stands now this should not be a strong 'Santa Ana' wind event like the devastating fires in May but it's still a little too warm for my liking. Early next week we should see a return of the night/morning low clouds and cooler temps.
As far as the surf goes, we had a storm last week off Antarctica that was fairly broad and lasted a few days. We should see some chest high waves tomorrow afternoon from a SW direction then head high waves on Thursday and peaking overhead sets by late Friday. The swell will start to taper off by Sunday.
We also have some NW windswell showing up late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Nothing big, but it will help peak up the building SW swell. And did I mention we've got warm sunny skies on tap too?
Charts also show our next storm in the eastern Pacific 'Simon' coming together. Models don't show it being a big storm (but they were also wrong about Marie) and if we get anything, the OC may see some waist high S swell from it early next week.
Further out, charts show more storms in the southern hemisphere and we may get more SW swell around the 12th of October- but I'm just focused on the good weather/waves coming for later this week!
