Early Edition 'cause I'm gettin' up early for Black Friday deals tomorrow! Um, I mean to crack that new swell...
SURF:
Finally! Some real waves to talk about. And the weather is cooperating too. We have a storm due W of us tonight that gave Nor-Cal some 20'+ surf today and head high waves for us tonight.
FORECAST:
After a great weekend of surf, we get a little breather on Monday then maybe a little shot of chest high sets from the NW on Tuesday. Wednesday backs off again then we're due for some NW windswell on Thursday for shoulder high waves in north county SD and head high sets in south SD. Unfortunately though we should get some breezy S winds towards Tuesday/Wednesday and rain as the next storm approaches. Looks to be junky until at least Friday then cleaner and smaller conditions next weekend.
WEATHER:
Just some high clouds tomorrow and a shot at sprinkles with not much wind. Looking pretty good for a surf. Clear your schedule! High pressure sets up over the weekend for temps in the high 60's and temps in the low 50's. Then things get interesting towards Tuesday when our first real cold storm plunges down from the Arctic next week. Looks like Tuesday to Thursday will be breezy, showers off and on, and COLD. High temps on Thursday may only be in the low 50's with temps at night in the low 40's. Too cold for the beach. High pressure should set up next weekend for clear skies and temps in the low 60's.
BEST BET:
Tomorrow! Overhead W swell, semi-clean conditions, and you're off work!
