THE Surf Report- Early Edition

I’m baaaaaaack…

SURF:

Sorry for not getting THE Surf Report out last Friday. I was um, sick. Cough, cough. Hopefully everyone found some surf though! 

On that note, it’s good to be back to normal again. After a slow February through April, it’s nice to see waves again and sunny skies. Today we had a small NW windswell fill in for chest high sets and that will peak tomorrow for consistent chest high surf. High pressure sets up this weekend so the NW windswell will start to back off to the waist high+ range and we’ll have some background SW as well. Looking small but the high pressure will give us great beach weather. 

Water temps have rebounded nicely to 63 degrees and the tides this weekend are 0’ at sunrise, up to 3.5’ after lunch, and down slightly to 2.5’ late in the day.

FORECAST:

After a small weekend, things start to pick up slightly early next week. 

We had a small and short storm form off New Zealand a few days ago which will send us chest high surf late Monday into Tuesday. 

There is also a small NW windswell filling in on Tuesday and best combo spots will be chest high plus. After that, we have more small NW windswell filling in for chest high sets next Friday. 

And if the models are correct, a solid SW swell filling in late Saturday into Sunday. We should have head high+ waves from it Sunday the 10^th through Tuesday the 12^th. After that, forecast charts show more activity in the southern hemisphere but nothing concrete. Best bet is that we should have more SW mid-June. 

WEATHER:

As mentioned above, high pressure started setting up shop today and we had mostly sunny skies at the beach after the low clouds burned off by lunch. High pressure strengthens more this weekend and we should have sun at the beaches by mid-morning, then rolling back in towards sunset. Temps at the beaches will be in the mid-70’s while the deserts will have an early season warm up around 110 degrees. Low pressure makes it way back down here towards Tuesday and we’ll be stuck with June Gloom. So get out there this weekend and work on that tan! And make sure to keep up to date on the latest conditions at Twitter/North County Surf. 

BEST BET:

Little combo swell Tuesday/Wednesday and hopefully solid SW swell again next Sunday the 10^th!

NEWS OF THE WEEK:

Know what my favorite day of the year is? May 25^th! That’s when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) comes out with their annual hurricane forecast for the Eastern and Central Pacific. Actually- take that back- it’s my 2^nd favorite day of the year. My wedding anniversary is my first! (Sorry about that honey). No wait- I love Christmas Day! So the hurricane deal is like 3^rd. Or maybe the birth of my first born? Or 2^nd born? How about my birthday? Wait- where was I going with all this? Oh- hurricanes! If you’ve read my blog lately, you’ll remember that La Nina (cold water/no rain) is fading away and we’re in a neutral state right now- and maybe headed towards a weak El Nino (warm water/more rain). With that prognosis, NOAA is predicting a slightly above average hurricane season between Hawaii and Baja. Here’s what they said:

An 80 percent chance of a near- or above-normal season is predicted for both the eastern and central Pacific regions. The eastern Pacific outlook calls for a 70-percent probability of 14 to 20 named storms, of which 7 to 12 are expected to become hurricanes, including 3 to 7 major hurricanes. The central Pacific outlook calls for a 70-percent probability of 3 to 6 tropical cyclones, which includes tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes.

“This outlook reflects the forecast for ENSO neutral conditions, with a possible transition to a weak El Nino during the hurricane season. Also, ocean temperatures in the main hurricane formation region are expected to remain above-average, and vertical wind shear is predicted to be near- or weaker-than-average,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., NOAA’s lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at the Climate Prediction Center. Bell added, “If El Nino develops, the activity could be near the higher end of the predicted range.”

El Nino decreases the vertical wind shear over the tropical central Pacific, which favors more and stronger tropical cyclones. El Nino also favors more westward-tracking storms from the eastern Pacific into the central Pacific.

This outlook is a general guide to the overall seasonal hurricane activity in the central Pacific basin and does not predict whether or how many of these systems will affect Hawaii. The hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30.

“It is very important to remember that it only takes one landfalling tropical cyclone to bring major impacts to the State of Hawaii,” said Chris Brenchley, director of NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center. “As we begin this 2018 hurricane season, we advise all residents to make preparations now, by having and practicing an emergency plan and by having 14 days of emergency supplies on hand that will be needed if a hurricane strikes.”

The Central Pacific Hurricane Center continuously monitors weather conditions, employing a network of satellites, land- and ocean-based sensors, and aircraft reconnaissance missions operated by NOAA and its partners. This array of data supplies the information for complex computer modeling and human expertise, which are the basis for the center’s storm track and intensity forecasts that extend out five days.

As far as my prediction went on May 10^th, I was expecting:

·         An average of 15 tropical storms with a range of 10 to 18 (NOAA says 14-20)

·         An average of 7 hurricanes with a range of 6 to 9 (NOAA says 7-12)

·         An average of 3 major hurricanes with a range of 2 to 5 (NOAA says 3-6)

So basically NOAA is claiming we’re going to have more storms/hurricanes than I expected (maybe 17 tropical storms, 9 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes). That’s not too bad of a summer. But of course the storms have to be in our ‘swell window’ (i.e. not below Baja) and also moving towards us (i.e. not headed to Hawaii) for us to get a shot of good surf. Which based on history, doesn’t happen that frequently. But if we got surf from 1 to 2 hurricanes a month this summer AND throw in a little southern hemisphere action, it would be pretty fun darn around here. Roughly surf every other week. Bring it!

BEST OF THE BLOG:

If you’re wondering where I was last Friday (and even if you weren’t), I’m here to tell you that I was at a charity golf tournament hosted by the North County Board Meeting, to benefit the Mitchell Thorp Foundation. If you don’t know about the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, they support families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. There was a tremendous outpouring of support from our local community and I want to give a HUGE shout out to everyone who supported the foundation. Everything went according to plan- sunny skies, a fun course, a sold out crowd, and good times; resulting in our best tournament ever. Eli and the crew at Goat Hill Park did an amazing job of keeping us on track, Board & Brew were more than generous with the best sandwiches on the planet, and all of our sponsors went above and beyond to help families in need through the Mitchell Thorp Foundation.

PIC OF THE WEEK:

Part 2 of Hurricane Marie’s bounty: On the last THE Surf Report, the Pic of the Week was a not so secret spot in the heart of LA, going off during Hurricane Marie in the summer of 2014. Here’s another shot of Marie firing on all cylinders, at a spot off the beaten path north of LA. Even if you knew where this spot was AND you paddled out during Marie- the current would have taken you to Santa Barabara within an hour. Hey- that’s faster than taking the 101!

THE Surf Report- Early Edition

Tired yet?

SURF:

The term gluttony is looked down upon in our society, and rightfully so; we shouldn’t take more than we need. But can you blame us these past two weeks for surfing everyday due to our abundant surf? 

With plenty of surf on tap, it’s been a bright spot after the slow January to April we just experienced. The only fly in ointment has been the winds lately. You don’t know what it’s going to do. Either early SW winds or calm in the AM but breezy W winds in the afternoon or a normal sea breeze. Unfortunately, it looks like the winds will be an issue again this weekend with SW winds forecasted in the mornings. So my free advice is to get on it early- like the dawn patrol- to have any chance of semi-clean conditions. 

As far as the surf goes, we had new SW fill in today for head high surf and a complimentary NW windswell to go along with it. That looks to be the case all weekend as the SW/NW combo hangs around and the SW winds make your session dicey. 

We have a better NW groundswell showing late Sunday for chest high waves (along with the leftover SW) and that will keep the surf truckin’ along for us.  Water temps have also crept up into the 63 degree range. 

And watch out for the tides this weekend as it’s around -1’ at sunrise, up to 3.5’ after lunch, and down slightly to 2.5’ at sunset. And if you’re wondering, sun comes up at 5:45 AM now and sets at 7:45 PM. That’s 14 hours of surfing if you can handle it.  

FORECAST:

The NW on Sunday continues into Monday and is greeted by a solid head high+ SW. Best combo spots will have overhead sets by Tuesday. 

On it’s heels is a smaller SW for Wednesday but we’ll still have shoulder high+ surf. After that, the N and S Pacific hit the reset button and next weekend looks to have waist to chest high SW. 

Forecast charts show more activity off Antarctica next week but it’s fairly unorganized. If it can get its’ act together, we could see more shoulder high SW at the end of the month. 

WEATHER:

It’s been a funny May so far as we haven’t had the true May Gray yet but it’s been close. Cool conditions and less than calm winds have made it feel like spring- just not the persistent cloud cover. That will be the case through next week with off and on clouds, wind in the 15mph range, and cool conditions. There may be some slight fluctuations to that forecast from day to day but not much. Long story short- don’t expect rain and don’t expect beach weather. Make sure to keep up to date on the latest storm conditions at Twitter/North County Surf. 

BEST BET:

Monday through Wednesday with good combo swell. Beware the winds though.

NEWS OF THE WEEK:

Seen all the sand lately at George’s beach, just south of Cardiff reef? Thanks to a government sand replenishment project, acres of new beach has been added from the inland lagoon. Now that the sand’s in place, there’s been a lot of talk lately of how it’s going to affect the surf. New sandbars hopefully? Will it wash away into offshore canyons? Maybe move N this summer and impact Cardiff reef? No one seems to know but scientists are trying to find out. Analysis from the University of California San Diego hopes to give us insight on these projects. Here’s what they had to say…

New research is shedding light on how mechanically placed sand on San Diego County beaches moves and its potential impacts. The study, published in the journal Coastal Engineering, could help planners develop beach nourishment projects that will reach their intended goals without causing unintended problems. North San Diego County for instance has started a 50-year, $160 million series of beach nourishments intended to combat flooding and erosion, and provide recreational space for tourists.

The new study, conducted by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and funded in part by California Sea Grant, analyzed four beach nourishment projects in San Diego County to see how they fared in the years after the nourishment. It provides a better understanding of how nourishment sand moves in response to waves and currents, which could provide insight for more effective beach nourishment projects in the future.

"There's a lot that is not known about how sand moves," says Scripps postdoc Bonnie Ludka, who led the study. "If you put sand on a beach, it won't just stay in one place. The question is, how long does it stay where you want it? And as it moves, where does it go?"

For example, sand placed on Torrey Pines beach north of San Diego in 2001 washed away in a single storm. Nourishment sand can also lead to other unintended consequences, as happened at Imperial Beach, the site of the largest beach nourishment in the study. There, 138 Olympic sized swimming pools worth of sand were added to the beach in autumn of 2012. The sand moved both north and south along the coast, and in 2016 contributed to the closure of the Tijuana River estuary. The river lost its connection to the ocean, leading to extremely concentrated pollution and hypoxia-loss of oxygen in the water that can cause die-offs of fish and other aquatic species.

In the study, Ludka and colleagues studied the 2001 Torrey Pines and 2012 Imperial Beach projects as well as beach nourishment projects at Cardiff and Solana beaches done in 2012. Using ATVs, jet skis, and other tools, the research team conducted regular surveys of each beach for over a decade to create elevation maps accurate down to a few centimeters. Using these maps, researchers could assess how the beach changed over time. Using a network of buoys run by Scripps researchers and a numerical wave model they also had a multi-decadal record of estimated wave conditions along the coast.

"These data allowed us to compare the behavior of the nourished beach with how the beach behaved during unnourished times under similar wave conditions," says Ludka.

Go with the flow

As noted in a previous study by the team, the size of the sand grains made a big difference in how far and fast the sand moved. At Torrey Pines, where sand similar to the native grain size was used for a nourishment project in 2001, all the added sand washed offshore in just one storm, months after it was placed. Coarser sand used at the other three projects in 2012 largely stayed on the upper beach, even through the El Niño winter of 2015-16, which brought exceptionally energetic waves to the coast.

The researchers also identified a pattern in sand movement that followed the prevailing ocean currents in the area-in winter, the piles of sand stretched southward, while in summer, the sand moved to the north. Overall, the southerly movement won out, and at Imperial Beach contributed to the clogging of the Tijuana Estuary, a couple kilometers south of the placement region.

The study also shows that in some cases the total amount of sand deposited or removed from a beach naturally was even larger than the amounts of sand that were added during the nourishment projects.

Ludka says "We're still a long way from being able to predict or model how these nourishments will evolve." But the careful observations provided in this study give a good first indication of how future projects might fare.

The sand budget

Why are sand nourishments needed in the first place? For one thing, climate change is bringing higher sea levels, which could drown beaches if they aren't able to retreat landward, whether due to an inability of the beach to adjust or existing infrastructure. Natural or living shoreline projects that build up or restore beaches and marshes are gaining attention as a way to build resilience in the face of rising seas.

In addition, sand is a limited resource on California beaches. Ludka explains that sand on beaches tends to come from two places-rivers and eroding cliffs. Dams and cliff stabilization projects have stifled sand contributions from both of these sources. She explains, "The sand budget is like a bank account. The ocean is always making withdrawals. If you don't add sand back into the system, the beaches will disappear."

The researchers also note that California has been adding sand to beaches for decades, and in many cases the wide sandy beaches we know were created artificially by the addition of sand dredged from harbors or other construction projects. Ludka says, "In the future, we might have to make difficult decisions about where we invest in sandy beaches, and where other beaches are left to their fate determined by rising seas and limited sand supplies."

PIC OF THE WEEK:

Considering how good Hurricane Marie was back in the summer of 2014 (category 5 with 160mph winds), it should come as no surprise that there are endless photos of firing surf on the internet. Like this secret spot right in the heart of LA. Can you believe these unnamed spots still exist in a city of 4 million people?!

THE Surf Report- Early Edition

April showers bring May Pacific power?

SURF:

Looks like we’re finally out of our dryspell. Don’t know how long it will last but anything is better than that February to April flatness. We’ve had fun surf the past couple weeks and it doesn’t look to stop anytime soon. Today we had a quick shot of WNW wind/groundswell that gave best spots overhead sets. For tomorrow the NW will be a shell of it’s former self with only chest high waves. 

On Saturday, models show a little reinforcement out of the the NW for waist-chest high surf again- best in SD. 

Turning our attention to the southern hemisphere now, we had a small storm off Antarctica last week which is sending more SW our way late Sunday. Expect chest high sets late in the day. All in all a little bit of surf this weekend but nothing firing; next week is when the fireworks start though. As far as the weather goes, low pressure looks to be overhead this weekend (i.e. May Gray) so SW winds may kick up early in the morning. Beware. Water temps are starting to rebound with the SSW winds lately and are hovering at 62 degrees. 

And tides this weekend are about 4’ at breakfast, 0’ mid-afternoon, and back up to 5’ at sunset. On a side note, for those of you keeping score, I actually rode my new SUPERbrand Black Out step up today (shameless plug) for the first time at an undisclosed reef and caught some good ones. The streak has ended at 15 weeks. You can stop holding your breath now.  

FORECAST:

The building SW from Sunday night will keep chugging along with shoulder high sets in far N county by Tuesday and head high waves in the OC. 

On it’s heels is another SW, slightly bigger, by next Thursday. North County San Diego will have head high surf and overhead waves in the OC. Models also show a very late season (weak) cold front moving through our area towards the end of the work week- so beware the SW winds again. 

After that, there’s another SW on the forecast charts for head high+ surf around the 21^st. 

And after that… is a real SW (hopefully) by the 23^rd of May. If all goes according to plan, we should have overhead+ surf for at least 3 days. All we need is the forecast charts to hold true a few more days to make the theory become reality. Make sure to keep up to date on the latest storm conditions at Twitter/North County Surf. 

WEATHER:

As mentioned above, we have low pressure setting up shop this weekend which will turn the May Gray up a notch and the SW winds will be on tap earlier than normal. May even see some drizzle late Friday/early Saturday. Mild weather returns Monday through Wednesday for a little more sun and less SW winds but models show yet another really late season cold front coming through for another shot of clouds/drizzle/S winds next Thursday/Friday. So if you started to think summer started early with all that great weather last week- think again. 

BEST BET:

Most of next week- later is better- with lots of SW swells. Just pay attention to the forecasted SW winds late in the week.

NEWS OF THE WEEK:

We had our first tropical depression form today- and we’re still 5 days from the official start of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season on May 15^th! That’s a great sign! Must mean it’s starting early and it’s going to be bombing this summer! May even get a hurricane here in Southern California! Now that I got your attention, let’s take a deep breath and see what the formation of this little depression means so early in the season: Nothing. Sure it’s a good sign, but most forecasters are claiming we’ll have a pretty average hurricane season around here- which is better than last summer’s below average hurricane season. And don’t expect anything  like the El Nino fueled years of 2014-2016. The official hurricane seasonal forecast from the National Hurricane Center should come out in a couple weeks and we’ll have better clarity, but for now, we should expect:

• ·         An average of 15 tropical storms with a range of 10 to 18.
• ·         An average of 7 hurricanes with a range of 6 to 9.
• ·         An average of 3 major hurricanes with a range of 2 to 5.

Now a range of 6 to 9 hurricanes- with maybe upwards of 5 storms being major- seems like a good season. Heck- that averages out to a storm every other week from June 15^th to September 15^th and once a month getting a major hurricane. But alas we know that the storms have to be in our ‘swell window’ (i.e. not below Baja) and also moving towards us (i.e. not headed to Hawaii) for us to get a shot of good surf. Which based on history, doesn’t happen that frequently. But before I change my name to Debbie Downer, let’s take a look at the hazards hurricanes present, from our friends at NOAA:

While hurricanes pose the greatest threat to life and property, tropical storms and depression also can be devastating. The primary hazards from tropical cyclones (which include tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes) are storm surge flooding, inland flooding from heavy rains, destructive winds, tornadoes, and high surf and rip currents.

Storm surge is the abnormal rise of water generated by a storm's winds. This hazard is historically the leading cause of hurricane related deaths in the United States. Storm surge and large battering waves can result in large loss of life and cause massive destruction along the coast. Storm surge can travel several miles inland, especially along bays, rivers, and estuaries. Flooding from heavy rains is the second leading cause of fatalities from landfalling tropical cyclones. Widespread torrential rains associated with these storms often cause flooding hundreds of miles inland. This flooding can persist for several days after a storm has dissipated. Winds from a hurricane can destroy buildings and manufactured homes. Signs, roofing material, and other items left outside can become flying missiles during hurricanes.

Tornadoes can accompany landfalling tropical cyclones. These tornadoes typically occur in rain bands well away from the center of the storm. Dangerous waves produced by a tropical cyclone's strong winds can pose a significant hazard to coastal residents and mariners. These waves can cause deadly rip currents, significant beach erosion, and damage to structures along the coastline, even when the storm is more than a 1,000 miles offshore.

As mentioned above, we’re lucky here in California we don’t have to deal with most of these hazards (except for large surf) because our high pressure during the summer blocks the storms from coming our way. And our relatively cooler waters (less than 80 degrees- optimal for storm formation) also kill hurricanes before they can get too close. Fine with me- after seeing the amount of devastation hurricanes wreak in the Atlantic, I’ll pass thank you.

PIC OF THE WEEK:

Whenever I come across shots like this, I wonder why no one is out. Is it bigger than it looks? Is it a once in a million swell at a non-traditional surf spot? Did the swell sneak up on everyone overnight? Is it a swim only zone? Is it sharky? Is it Photoshopped? Does no one surf in that darn town? Am I overthinking it?! This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night.

Keep Surfing,

THE Surf Report- Early Edition

Gromland.

SURF:

Combo swell last weekend resulted in good waves most everywhere- IF you avoided the wind. Surf slowly died during the week as late season showers rolled through. Today the NW wind howled as high pressure set up shop, so any small surf we did have, was blown to bits. Look for the wind to back off slightly over the weekend but the surf to stay small. 

No swells the past few days will leave us with waist high sets from the NW/SW. Basically a good weekend for the groms. On a positive note, the weather will be great with temps in the high 70’s at the beaches. Amazing to think the best waves in California this weekend will be in the central valley. 

Water temps are hovering at 60 and tides this weekend are pretty straightforward- about 0’ at breakfast and up to 3’ mid-afternoon.

FORECAST:

Not much to start the week- or even mid-week for that matter- but we do have a late season W swell arriving late Wednesday for chest high sets and shoulder high surf by Thursday morning.  

By late next Saturday, we should have new S show up for shoulder high sets in N San Diego and head high+ waves in the OC. 

On it’s heels is another late season swell from the Aleutians- this time a NW angle- for chest high swell on Sunday. Along with the S swell, most spots will have peaky shoulder to head high waves. Should be fun, you just need to wait a week. Make sure to keep up to date on the waves and weather at Twitter/North County Surf. 

WEATHER:

Fun little storm system this past week gave us breezy conditions, almost ¼” of showers, and a fire in my fireplace. Won’t see that again until December. On the opposite end of the spectrum, high pressure set up today for great weather and plenty of sun. Look for the same through the weekend with temps in the mid to high 70’s at the coast and up to 105 degrees in the desert. Low clouds/fog return later next week but in the meantime it will be a great looking weekend. 

BEST BET:

The 2^nd half of next week is the call with new W swell late Wednesday/Thursday and combo swell Saturday/Sunday.

NEWS OF THE WEEK:

A look back at our weather history for the 1^st weekend of May…

May 3^rd, 1915: The low temperature of 45° in San Diego was the lowest on record for May

May 4^th, 1950: It was 35° in Santa Ana, the lowest temperature on record for May.

May 3^rd, 1959: A strong storm system brought gale force winds and rough seas to the coastal waters. Three boats were sunk and three were washed aground. One of the boats that sank was a 136-foot oil tanker. A fisherman drowned when he was washed from the rocks by a large wave in San Pedro. A tornado formed over San Diego Bay before moving over the Naval Station and adjoining housing area. The tornado destroyed a large boat shed, shattered windows, severed utility lines, bent TV antennas and injured two.

May 3^rd, 1961: A sandstorm in Riverside County closed highways, removed paint from buildings and vehicles, and damaged fruit crops.

May 3^rd, 1986: Three died and one was rescued from a boat accident on the Salton Sea. Very strong winds caused turbulent waters.

May 5^th, 1990: The high of 101° in downtown LA on this day shattered the previous record of 93°.

May 5^th, 1992: A tornado was reported north of Imperial.

May 5^th, 1998: An “apparent” tornado hit San Bernardino and Rialto and shredded metal siding in Rialto.

May 3^rd, 2003: On this day no measurable rain fell in San Diego, something that would not happen for 181 consecutive days until 11/1, making this dry streak the second longest on record.

May 3^rd, 2004: It was 105° in Santa Ana, the highest temperature on record for May. This occurred fittingly during a Santa Ana event.
