We got surf! Again!
New WNW started to fill in rapidly in Nor-Cal yesterday and hit our offshore buoys late yesterday. When we woke up this morning- BAM! Lots of good head high surf.
The WNW is peaking this afternoon and we'll find overhead sets here and 10' sets in SD.
On it's heels is another shot of NW swell from a little storm behind the current one and we'll get more head high+ waves tomorrow.
Things go quiet the 2nd half of the week and then a weak cold front moves through this weekend (more on that below) and we get a quick shot of NW windswell/groundswell for more head high waves late Sunday into Monday. After that, charts have an interesting scenario- former Hurricane Ana that blew through Hawaii last week will get swept up into the north Pacific, merge with some cold air and turn into an Aleutian low pressure system. If everything goes according to plan, we'll get head high sets from her towards next Tuesday/Wednesday. So do I consider this a hurricane swell from the NW?!
As far as our weather goes, we have a weak cold front moving through today for morning low clouds/fog and temps about 70 at the beach. That blows through then we have high pressure setting up the 2nd half of this week for sunny skies and temps in the mid to high 70's. Then yet another weak cold front (i.e. no rain yet) moves through this weekend for more clouds and cooler temps.
Beware the tides this week as we've got high tides around 4' at daybreak, then 5.5' mid-morning, down to 0' late afternoon and about 3' at sunset. Maybe some of those mysto low tide reef spots throughout SD County will be working good today and tomorrow.
And yes, the water's still warm. About 70 in most locations in SD and OC. Don't know if I'll ever wear a 3/2 again!
