Tuesday will be a rideable but not all that great of a surf day. There will still be some leftover waves from the weekend’s W-NW swell but it looks like the winds will turn onshore around mid-morning and between the increasing onshore bump, fading swell, and building tide the overall wave shape is going to suffer.

The bigger weekend W-NW swell fades fast over the next few days, leaving us with a much smaller mix of WNW-NW leftovers/background swells, a little bit of weak Southern Hemi swell, and some local windswell. Conditions improve, with much nicer weather and decent winds as we move through mid-week. Further out a mix of stronger NW winds and some storm activity out by Hawaii is looking to send us a fun-sized bump as we head into the upcoming weekend.

Our surf will be much smaller compared to the weekend’s waves but there will still be plenty of rideable energy still hitting the exposed spots. There will be a little drizzle in the morning but the winds stay light and everything starts to warm up by the afternoon.

While we will have past the peak of the W-NW stormswell there will still be plenty of surf on tap for Sunday. Unfortunately conditions won’t be the best thanks to yet another cold front pushing through the area, threatening to bring some rain and wind to the more exposed beaches.

Saturday will be big and chunky but still rideable in many spots thanks to mostly light winds, unfortunately it won’t be groomed up clean lines (or clean water for that matter).

Friday will have large, lumpy W-NW storm swell filling in through the morning and peaking through the afternoon/evening. Winds remarkably look like they will hold out of the ESE-SE direction for most of the day, keeping many spots cleaner than they normally would be during a swell/storm mix like this.

The first part of the new W-NW stormswell is already showing some decent size at our exposed beaches but this portion of the swell will be quickly surpassed as the stronger part of the swell arrives overnight and filling in through Friday and, eventually peaking Saturday. Unfortunately the both the medium and long-range charts just flipped off projected storm production…almost like this storm punched the NPAC in the solar plexus, leaving it gasping for air rather than winding up to take another swing, which means that while we get big waves this weekend things will mellow out fast as we move into the middle of next week.

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, while Socal was getting a lovely dose of combo swell, a beefier version of the WNW-NW swell was moving down the California Coast. Fortunately Ben Ginsberg from Driftwood Photography Studios was on hand to capture some of the shining moments between storm fronts.
