Surf on Wednesday – F_@k wallstreet I am going surfing

Wednesday is looking like another surf day…we will have a little more swell and I think that the exposed combo beach breaks should be pretty through the morning.

We are going to have a mix of SSW swells on Wednesday…one fading and a new more southerly one filling in…both of which will be mixing with some increasing NW windswell.

Average spots with S exposure will be in the waist-chest high range…with a few shoulder high sets sneaking through on the lower tides.

The top spots, meaning the well exposed S-facing breaks…mostly in OC and SD, will be chest-shoulder high on most of the waves. The bigger sets should be topping out around head high or so.

Winds are expected to be light in the morning…mostly light and variable but we may see some S-SW texture for the SD and OC areas (sort of depends on how much the eddy sets up tonight). Afternoon winds pick up out of the W around 10-15 knots.

I think with the windswell helping to combo up the SSW swell that the beach breaks will be a decent call tomorrow morning, particularly if the winds stay light. The points and reefs will still be fun as well but they may not connect as far as they would on a pure S-SW swell. Midmorning will probably be the most fun…but you are going to want to get on it before the 5.8’ high tide swamps things out around 10:45am.

Here are the tides for Wednesday

04:32AM 1.0' Low
10:37AM 5.8' High
05:22PM 0.3' Low
11:20PM 4.3' High

Thursday's Surf - A few more waves

Thursday looks surfable...again nothing great...just sort of summer-fun-ness.

We will have a mix of slightly stronger S-SW swell energy from a couple of different sources along with some WNW energy from a couple of other NPAC sources (You can tell I am putting a lot of scientific effort into this one). Basically it will be the same sort of swell mix we have had over the last several days but with a touch more energy.

Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with a few waist high+ sets on the lower tides (and the good sandbars).

Standout breaks, mostly the SW facing combo beach breaks, will see some chest-high surf...maybe even a couple of inconsistent shoulder high sets. San Diego will be the biggest and most consistent surfwise since it is a bit more exposed to the swell mix. Other combo spots along the other regions will be fun as well...just not as consistent.

Here check out the CDIP model...this is what it is going to continue to look like tomorrow morning.



Winds will be ok...there will be a touch of eddy at times. So watch for light S-SW onshore wind through SD and Orange County...spots further north should be clean but may have a touch of NW texture still lingering as well. All spots see onshore winds around 10-15 knots by the afternoon.

I wouldn't spend a lot of time hunting around for surf...just plan on mostly the summertime love. Small, soft, but with occasional playful waves and nice weather. Like I said it won't be great but it is always better than work.
