The only excitement the past few days seems to have been the rain. If you hear someone talking about something overhead, it's probably the showers above. Not much surf out there from the NW or SW. Looks like they showers are clearing out this morning and all we're left with is some small waist high NW and SW and a little wind from the SW at 5.
The next couple of days the weather cleans up for seasonal spring conditions (night and morning low clouds burning off to cool afternoon sunshine with temps in the mid-60's at the beaches) and not much surf.
The good news is that the showers will back off this morning and by the weekend we should have sunny skies and temps near the low to mid-70's. And hopefully some small SW filling in by then too. We had a small storm spin in the southern hemisphere last week and we'll start to see some chest high sets in far north county by Friday. The OC should have shoulder high sets.
The north Pacific has gone dormant unfortunately so south SD county won't see much surf. There's a little activity on the charts later this week and we may get a NW windswell bump towards next Monday but that's about it from the NW.
As mentioned earlier, we have some fun little SW headed our way towards the weekend. Even better is a storm forecasted to flare up around the 11th of May and peak towards the 13th which would give us an overhead SW around the 18th here and peak on the 20th. The OC will have overhead+ waves from it and even the Wedge may come to life. Keep your fingers crossed.
Water temps are holding at 63 and the tides next few days are about 4' at sunrise, 0' mid-afternoon, and up to 5' at sunset. Get your work done this week and try to get a little of that SW this weekend along with the nice weather.
