Another flat day out there with just a tiny SW swell trying to show in the OC for waist high sets and knee high NW down here. Beautiful day outside. Again. But still no surf.
Water temps are holding on at 62 degrees and the tides are pretty mellow with 3' at sunrise down to 2' mid-morning, and up to 3.5' at sunset.
Our weather is perfect again- albeit chilly- with just some high clouds overhead and not much wind. We're in for a change though as a storm currently sits offshore of the Pacific Northwest and will make a unique trajectory down the Pacific coast over water- instead of slamming into Northern California first. San Francisco may actually not see any rain from this as the storm is forecasted to move inland into Southern California instead. Look for showers on Thursday with WSW winds around 15-20mph. Rainfall should be around 1/4"-1/2"; slightly less than our last storm. Not a big storm to say the least but we do need the rainfall. And a little wet and windy weather on Thanksgiving as you stuff yourself and watch football is a good thing. Things will clear up Saturday through Tuesday then maybe another small storm the 2nd half of next week- along with some chilly temperatures in the low 60's during the day.
So the good news with this storm on Thanksgiving is that we'll get some surf from it. The bad news is that it will be windy of course. Best bet is to hit it early before the in-laws come over as well as getting on it before the winds kick in late in the day. Look for some head high sets in San Diego County from the W. Friday looks to be junky with more head high waves, then Saturday the swell drops as the weather cleans up.
Sunday and Monday look to be pretty small but we have some more NW windswell on the charts for next Tuesday. Nothing big but chest high sets in south county SD.
All in all some waves on Thanksgiving and a little bit of wet weather. Another thing to be thankful for!
