Another beautiful day out there and no surf to speak of. Actually, you might get a little waist high set from the NW down in San Diego but nothing here in north county.
Actually had some stormsurf late Saturday night and into Sunday morning where the passing cold front set up cold offshores but the swell dropped quickly after that as the skies cleared up. So the past few days around here have seen great conditions but tiny waves.
Water temps are hovering around 60- which is amazing considering how cold the air temps have been AND the winds have been offshore the past few days which causes the upwelling of colder water, but we're still safe to wear a 3/2 fullsuit.
Our weather should stay nice the next few days as we warm up slightly too. We have a weak disturbance below us today that may move into our area tomorrow night but look for sprinkles at most with this system. After that it's clear skies for the latter part of the week into the weekend. Temps may hit 70's at the beaches finally with lows in the high 50's at night.
As far as the surf goes, we had a little storm off Antarctica flare up a few days ago. Wasn't big and it was due south of us, so we may only see waist high sets from it in north county SD tomorrow with MAYBE an inconsistent chest high set for the OC. Better than nothing I guess.
After that we have a couple little swells- one from the NW and one from the SW- taking aim at us on Saturday. The NW is just some small waist high+ windswell and the SW is groundswell about the same size. Best combo spots should see some chest high sets. Along with the nice winter conditions this weekend, might be some fun little waves. Nothing solid yet though.
Models are showing some better NW groundswell for early next week. Hoping to get some chest high waves from it here in North County Monday afternoon and shoulder high sets in south SD.
And further out, the storm hasn't formed yet, but if the charts hold up we may get some good NW towards the weekend of the 20th. It's still a long ways away but hopefully things are starting to change for the better towards the end of the month. Now that would be a good Christmas present.
