What a fantastic day outside! Too bad I'm stuck in a cubicle at work. Regardless- what a fantastic day outside! Not missing much though; the surf is pretty small...
We've got knee high+ NW/SW combo swell with the best spots in the OC getting inconsistent waist high sets from the SW. Water temps are still holding at 67 and the air temp is in the mid-70's at the beaches. Could almost trunk it right now if there were waves to ride.
Tides the next few days are 3' at sunrise, up to 6' mid-morning, down to 0' mid-afternoon, and back up to 3' at sunset.
If you like the weather today, then you're going to love the next week. High pressure has set up shop and we've got clear skies, light winds, and temps in the mid to high 70's at the beaches. There's a weak low pressure system making it's way up north later in the week that may give us a couple clouds towards Thursday but it's going to be minor. Then high pressure sets back up again for more great weather this weekend.
As far as the surf goes, we haven't had any major storms the past few days in the southern or northern hemisphere aimed at us so we're left with begging a couple small tropical storms to send us surf. Octave peaked yesterday with 60 mph winds and has since slammed into Baja. Priscilla on the other hand is still spinning in the ocean but peaked earlier at 50 mph. Not the biggest swell makers. Northern OC though MIGHT see a chest high set tomorrow and into Thursday. Down here in SD we'll be lucky to get some waist high waves from them.
Going further out, high pressure is keeping the storms in the north Pacific at bay so we're left with pretty flat conditions this weekend. Did I tell you the weather is going to be nice though? So we got that going for us.
For next week, we have a couple storms on the charts today, that if everything holds, we should get some fun SW towards Tuesday and a good WNW around the same time. Look for chest high waves in the OC from the SW, chest high combo WNW/SW in north county SD, and shoulder high sets from the WNW in southern SD.
So until then, enjoy the good weather, fix those dings, and get some surf next week.
