We have been rocking summer this past week. Some fun SW in the water, clear skies, water temps in the low 70's, and air temps in the mid-70's. Life is good.
Today the SW was fading but we still had some chest high waves in town plus an added bonus of some NW windswell yesterday. Look for the NW and SW to back off tomorrow but fear not- more swell is on the way.
First up though are the tides. We've got a 3' tide at dawn, down to 2' mid-morning, then up to a 6' tide around 5pm, and down to 4' at sunset. And as mentioned above, the water temps are a perfect 72 degrees with Scripps reporting 73 today.
As far as the weather goes, we've got great conditions on tap tomorrow and Thursday as high pressure starts to build. As it does though, we've got monsoon moisture moving in from the desert SW that will cloud up our skies this weekend. It will still be warm and humid around here- just some clouds overhead. That should clear out by Tuesday next week.
The continuing sunny skies this week though is a perfect match for our next SW swell. We had a good storm form about a week ago and we'll start to see head high sets Thursday afternoon with the OC getting some overhead sets. That lasts into Sunday.
Good news is that as the SW is rolling along we get a small but helpful NW swell to peak up the lines; beaches should have some good combo peaks. Friday evening may be fun around here with the increasing tropical clouds, combo swell, and warm water. All in all a good weekend for surf.
After a good weekend of surf, the SW backs off on Monday and the 2nd half of next week looks pretty small. To throw salt on the wounds, the southern hemisphere wasn't active the past few days so we won't see any surf from this region of the world coming our way next week. The north Pacific wasn't much better as there's no NW windswell forecasted and the tropics are eerily silent in the middle of summer. So on that note- get it this weekend while you can!
