Monday morning will be rideable, even playful, at the NW facing spots. The WNW breaks and more west facing combo beaches will be a bit more suspect as our energy starts to back down, but fortunately there is a little bit of Southern Hemi and some very clean conditions that will work to keep most of our exposed beaches rideable.

Saturday starts off relatively small, a little drizzly, but mostly clean. New WNW-NW swell and some background S-SW swells move in later in the day and start to drive up the surf before sundown. Eventually this new mix of swells will peak through Sunday.

Good news…while we have been pushing through a fun, but sometimes funky, run of local windswell and small S-SW background swells…things are FINALLY about to get a bit more solid. The North Pacific just swung a new storm down into our swell window and has set up enough fetch to push some punchier WNW-NW swell our way for later this weekend. That isn’t all the longer-range charts have at least one more storm forming up behind this current one potentially sending us more waves next week. The South Pacific is showing some more activity as well…and while it isn’t huge, it is steady enough that we can expect an increase of SSW-SW swell heading our way as well.

Friday will be another rideable but not super exciting surf day. Like the last couple of days the windswell will be a little more playful than it looks on paper…but you will need to time the winds, tides, and pick the right spot to maximize the playfulness.

Thursday will see cleaner conditions but smaller surf as the windswell drops off in the morning and only background energy sticks around to send us waves.

We have waves on tap all week thanks to a steady mix of storm activity moving through the South Pacific. The storms haven’t been super huge, but they all spent time plowing the same stretch of ocean, which will keep decent size waves showing for the next week. Further out there is a little bigger bump of swell lining up for the last part of September but the pickings may get a little slim after that. From a tropical standpoint we have TD Manuel, who will likely reform into a tropical storm and make a mess along Central Mainland Mexico and up through the Sea of Cortez for the next few days…I don’t expect much surf from this system, unless a few areas get very lucky, but if you are travelling or surfing in these areas you are going to want to watch out for all of the rain, flashfloods, and other nastiness these storms bring along with them.

Wednesday will see marginal surf quality and conditions. We will continue to see mostly small swells, but the surf shape will take the real hit from early onshore winds and early high tides, which most spots will not be able to recover from.

Tuesday will see some rideable waves but shape may be lacking as the swell mix shifts around to stronger local windswell. Morning winds and conditions will be nice but we can expect plenty of onshore wind to hit during the afternoon.

The next several days we are going to be powering through a mix of increased local NW windswell along with a number of smaller S-SW swells (180-210) that overlap in the background. For the most part the better exposed breaks will be rideable (even occasionally playful if you have the right equipment), but the surf will definitely be smaller than last week. The good news is that the North Pacific is becoming increasingly active, and has the potential to throw together some storm activity over the next week that could send some bigger swell to our region in a relatively short time frame. The SPAC isn’t totally shut down either, it is a bit zonal, but again there will be enough storm activity that we can expect a decent run of Southern Hemi swell as we close out the month.

Look for more playful waves on Monday…our surf will be slower and a little less consistent, but it will still have enough energy for you to get out and pick of a few peaks at the better combo spots, particularly if they like the higher tides.
