So much to talk about in so little time. So let's get started...
Had a lot of fun surf recently and a lot of May Gray. Last week there was plenty of SW swell (and overcast skies) and this week there's been overcast skies (again) along with Hurricane Andres S swell. Andres was a beauty with winds peaking at 140mph. Unfortunately Andres peaked last night but the OC still got overhead sets and we had chest high waves down here.
Fear not as new SW was filling in this afternoon from a good storm off New Zealand last week. Look for head high+ waves in north SD and the OC tomorrow before fading Thursday afternoon into the weekend.
Tides the next few days are around 0' at sunrise, up to 4' at lunch, down to 2' late afternoon, and up to 5' at sunset.
As far as our weather goes... more May Gray! We have a veeeeeeery late season cold front forecasted to move through on Thursday and linger into Saturday morning. Look for overcast skies and drizzle. Typical for January, err, I mean June. High pressure should set up early next week for warmer temps in the low 70's and less clouds/fog. We also have another hurricane brewing below Andres- known as Blanca- and winds tonight are around 100mph. And wouldn't you know it, models have Blanca turning into our 2nd Category 4 hurricane late tomorrow/Thursday with winds topping out at 145mph. Pretty unusual to start off the hurricane season with two Category 4 hurricanes. El Nino is right on track. Unfortunately, Blanca will be heading towards Cabo and not in our swell window, so we won't see any swell from it. And hopefully Blanca will die off before hitting Cabo this weekend.
So any swell in the near future? Well, not really. After the good SW this week, things wind down next week and it's looking pretty flat. Models show a storm off New Zealand towards the 12th of June which would give us fun SW swell around the 21st- but that's almost 3 weeks away! Our only hope right now is more hurricanes forming off Baja. So until then, live it up this week!
