The last few weeks have been the easiest to forecast as well as the most maddening- no storms means an easy time to predict the surf but also pretty depressing. Today we have yet again tiny NW and tiny SW in the water.
There's maybe some waist high waves in south SD and north OC. Good news is that the water is slowly creeping back up to 68 and the sun is already out.
Tides the next few days are around 2' at sunrise, up to 5' late afternoon, and down to 2' again at sunset. Heck- even the tides are boring!
The weather should be nice the next few days- finally. Early August had a ton of low clouds and cool temperatures. We're finally back to sunny skies and temps in the mid to high 70's at the beaches. There's maybe another shot of tropical moisture headed our way towards Thursday/Friday but only rain for the mountains/deserts.
As far as the surf goes, we had a weak little storm off Antarctica send us a little SW shot and we should get some waist high waves around here towards Thursday. The tropics are also trying to flare up today and we may get a little knee to waist high S swell too. Sad to say but I'm excited. I swear we must be living in Florida.
After the little S/SW Thursday/Friday, we may get a little waist high NW in SD for the weekend. Still nothing solid but good enough for your groveler board.
The storms in the southern hemisphere are still pretty feeble but the models show a couple small storms trying to get their act together today. If they hold up, we may get waist high SW sets again towards Labor Day.
And as we get closer to fall, the north Pacific is starting to wake up. Charts show yet another small storm trying to get it's act together and we may get another waist high NW swell late next week.
So there you have it- the water is trying to warm up, we finally have nice weather, and we're due for a few small pulses from the NW and SW. A wavepool sounds good right about now...
