Surfing on Tuesday (another small day)

If you are a small wave enthusiast then Tuesday looks like a good day for you. If you like your surf to be more consistently above waist high then you may want to stay in bed.

We will have a mix of background SW energy, small local NW windswell, and a touch of WNW swell in the water…none of which will amount to much. I am expecting most beaches to see surf in the knee-high range with inconsistent waist high sets. The morning tide will bog even those sizes down further.

The biggest surf will be in San Diego…particularly at beaches that do well on the WNW-NW swell directions, and that can handle a higher tide. There may even be some chest high sets lurking around the La Jolla/PB/Mission Beach /Ocean Beach areas. I would definitely bring your small wave gear (longboard or fish). If you are not into small waves I would even consider checking the cams before driving anywhere.

Weather should be nice…similar to Monday. Light morning conditions, even light offshore. W winds build in around 10-knots through the afternoon.
