Been some fun surf the past few days. Had a lot of SW wind junk on Sunday but building NW swell. Then we got a clean little window on Monday morning but the surf was lumpy from the day before- and then the NW wind kicked in. Today we had more manageable winds but dropping surf from the NW and a touch of small background SW. Looks like our surf will continue to drop through Saturday unfortunately.
On the flip side, high pressure is in control and we have great weather lining up the next few days. Temps at the beach should hit 70 by Friday and the morning lows around 50. Just some high clouds overhead and no rain for at least the next 5 days. After that, the models are a little confused but we may have a chance of rain early next week if everything pans out.
If that supposed rain does pan out, that means there must be storms on the horizon. Models show new NW filling in on Sunday for head high+ surf in north county SD and overhead sets in south SD. The OC is partially blocked (as usual) from the offshore islands. That will last into Tuesday. The 2nd half of next week we should have smaller surf again.
Further out we have another storm trying to form off Japan and if that one holds together, we should get more surf towards next weekend.
Water temps are still chilly but getting back to normal for winter- hovering right around 57 degrees. And the tides the next few days are about 2' at sunrise, up to 5' mid-morning, and down to 0' at sunset. Have a good week everyone and get ready for some more surf late this weekend!
