All kinds of good stuff going on today. Looks like that remnant SW filled in from the hyped Tavarua swell along with some small NW windswell. Even though the SW swell hit Tavi with 30'+ sets, the swell was chewed up by the south Pacific islands and only gave us bits and pieces. Best sets today were head high in the OC and north SD had some shoulder high sets.
It peaked earlier today but we'll have some leftovers tomorrow. Next up is some NWwindswell forming towards Thursday afternoon which will show on Friday/Saturday. Not big but some chest high waves in south SD.
Hurricane Dora is also kicking into gear and is currently off southern Mexico with winds of 75mph and increasing. Forecast charts showing it peaking at 125mph (category 3) and just outside our swell window on Thursday. As it starts to head over cooler waters in a few days, it will start to die of course (probably a tropical storm again on Friday) but I'm hoping it still has a little strength and can send us a chest to head high S swell. That would show towards Sunday.
The southern hemisphere was quiet last week but has been stirred up the past few days. Nothing huge but I'm hoping for some head high+ SW towards next weekend. Long story short, looks like some swell every few days for us. Can't complain.
Water temps are 70 and a weak trough is headed our way the next few days resulting in slightly cooler air temps and more extensive night/morning low clouds. Tides the next few days are generally 0' at 7am, 5' at 2pm, and 2' at sunset. Have a good week and enjoy the summer!
