Is this a typical spring or what?! Storms coming down the coast- but it's way past winter- so we don't get any rain but rather wind. NW windswell is left in their wake and SW groundswell is lost underneath all the jumbled mess. Can't wait for summer!
Anyway, we had some head high NW windswell in the water today and the wind was blowing W at 15 mph+. There was also some extreme angled SW in the water too for shoulder high sets in far north county SD and overhead sets in the OC- but it was tough to see in all that wind blown slop.
Good news for tomorrow is high pressure sets up for better weather. That should last through the weekend and by Friday we'll have temps in the high 70's. Bad news is that both swells will be on their way down. Should have some fun head high sets though.
Water temps are holding at 59 and the tides next few days are 2' at sunrise, 0' mid morning, and up to 3' right before sunset.
After the NW/SW winds down this week we actually have a few more small swells headed our way. A few days ago we had a little activity flare up in the southern hemisphere and we'll get some S swell from it on Friday for chest high sets. On it's heels is some more NW windswell towards Sunday.
The northern hemisphere takes a breather but the southern hemisphere keeps chugging along. Unfortunately it's nothing big nor long lived AND it's on the edge and end of our swell window. But we should get more chest high SW sets around the 22nd.
After that, we get another little hiccup from the southern hemisphere around the 29th of this month. All in all nothing big but every few days we get reinforcements out of the SW. Can't complain. As long as these stupid cold fronts don't keep coming down here and blowing out our surf, it should make for some fun sessions the next week or so!
