Still just little SW out there with a touch of NW. Most spots around town are knee high with the OC hitting waist high+. Low clouds/fog have returned and the water temps are all over the place- buoys in the OC are reporting 65 while SD has 69. Basically wear a springsuit today.
Tides the next few days are 1' at sunrise, up to 5.5' after lunch, and down to 1' again at sunset.
And it looks like our weather is starting to mellow out a bit. Weak low pressure has set up shop and we have night/morning low clouds and temps near 70 at the beaches with hazy sunshine. High pressure builds this weekend for warmer temps in the mid-70's, less clouds, and less thunderstorms in the mountain and deserts. Models also predict a weak cold front moving through our area the 2nd half of next week which would give us more clouds again and cooler temps- signs that fall is fast approaching September 21st.
As far as the surf goes, I originally thought the storm that sent us the little SW today would fizzle out but instead it kept growing. That sent us a bigger shot of SW that will start to arrive Thursday and peak on Friday for chest high+ waves around town and head high+ waves for the OC.
We also have a small NW groundswell headed our way Thursday. The SW will overrun it but south SD may see the odd chest high set from it.
After the fun SW/NW later this week, we have small storm trying to get it's act together which may give us some waist high+ early next week with the OC seeing a chest high set.
The models are also showing another small NW groundswell/windswell for next week. Even though the SW and NW swells won't be big early next week, they'll at least continue to send us waves.
And long range models show another storm in the southern hemisphere trying to organize into a swell producer for us. If everything comes together in a few days, we may see more fun SW swell next weekend.
All in all nothing major for us but considering how small the past few weeks have been, any kind of surf is a welcome relief.
