Tuesday’s tiny waves – some longboard fun

Tuesday isn’t going to be much of a surf day…there will be waves, even rideable ones (if you have the right equipment) but overall we are going to have issues with lack of swell, tides, and increasing onshore winds.

The swell mix in the water is pretty small…mostly leftover S-SW energy, some local windswell and some very background NW blips.

Most spots will be in the knee high range, maybe even going flat on the high tides and occasionally showing a waist high+ set on the low-to-high tide push.

Standout S-SW facing combo spots will be in the knee-chest high range…there may be a very rare set on the tide swing but expect to wait a while for it.

Winds will be clean early but look for building onshore bump by midmorning and W winds around 15 knots by mid-afternoon.

Personally I am not planning on much surf tomorrow. It might be good for a longboard on the lower tides, or maybe even a fish or quad if you are a lighter surfer, but overall it is going to be pretty soft, slow, and inconsistent. The beach breaks with good sandbars will be your best bet…but even those won’t be worth driving very far. I think I may stay home and surf my pillow…or go to the gym (gasp!) and work on my beefcake3000 routine.
