Tuesday is not going to be a surf day.
We will have great weather, good winds, but no real swell. There will be a mix of weak local windswell and some minimal background energy in the water but it is not going to amount to much...and the high tide peaks will probably shut it off almost all together.
Look for knee high sets at the average spots...ankle-knee high on the higher tides. The standout breaks will be around waist high...maybe waist high+ on inconsistent sets.
Windwise we can expect light and variable winds through the morning...maybe light-offshore for a couple of the areas with high cliffs. W winds around 10-12 knots build in through the afternoon and may strengthen through the end of the day. Looks like a chance at some fog for select areas by Wednesday.
Conditions are going to be so nice that it will be hard not to go to the beach but we really aren’t going to see much. I would plan on bringing a big-ass board and a good attitude...between those and the heat-wave you should be able to find a few soft micro lines. Try not to surf during the high-tide peak...it will just be a lesson in frustration.
Fortunately more swell is coming later this week.
Here are the tides.
01:42AM LDT 1.2 L
07:25AM LDT 4.0 H
01:40PM LDT 0.6 L
07:50PM LDT 4.7 H

Friday's Surf - I think we should take the day off
Friday will be a surf day.
Look for some fun but generally small surf on Friday. We will have a mix of S swell, some local WNW energy, and some slightly longer-period NW energy.
Most spots will continue to see rideable knee-waist high surf. Standout S facing spots...mostly through Orange County and parts of San Diego (definitely not Bend Oregon) will have some chest high sets.
Winds will be light offshore to light and variable in the morning. Look for onshore flow around 10-15 knots out of the W during the afternoon.
It supposed to be nice and hot tomorrow so I think we should boycott work, break out the fish boards, and go surf. Try and ease into it tomorrow if you can...the dawn patrol may be a bit swampy. The tide will be a little high in the morning but we should see shape improve as it starts to drop during midmorning. Personally I wouldn't waste a lot of time driving around looking for waves tomorrow...if you find a playful wave close to home I would jump on it.

Weekend’s Waves – Good weather and slowly building surf
There will be some really nice weather this weekend and a little bit of building surf to go along with it.
We will start to see a slowly building S-SW swell mix with leftover WNW windswell on Saturday.
It will start pretty small in the morning with most spots around knee high and smaller…a few of the best Orange County and San Diego surf spots (the S-facing ones and the combo breaks) will have some waist high+ sets. We can expect sort of low-tide drained shape through most of the morning…but things should improve as we move past the bottom of the low.
Sunday the S-SW swell will fill in more. Exposed areas will be in the waist high+ range while the best spots, again in OC and SD, see some chest-shoulder high sets. It will be inconsistent on the bigger waves, and the tide will continue to hamper it at times, but you should be able to at least get out and grab a couple of playful ones.
The weather is supposed to be pretty warm along the beach…mid-70’s at least. Inland it is supposed to blaze…so expect a bit more of a crowd along the beach. The water ain’t warm yet so make sure to pack your wetsuit.
Winds should be light and variable to light-offshore in the morning…and just light onshore in the afternoons. There may even be a bit of a glass-off waaay late in the day (worth keeping an eye on at least).
Personally I think the best time to paddle out will be right after the low tide starts to fill back in. The tide push will help out with both size and consistency…and probably shape as well. S facing beach breaks will be your best bet if you are looking for bigger waves…OC has got a bunch of these, so does North San Diego…it probably won’t be worth driving too far for it though…so if you have a closer beach, and it has a few little waves, you might as well paddle out there.
Have a great weekend! But make sure to check back…there is a decent looking storm in the South Pacific that is brewing up right now…I will put together a post on it over the next day or so.
