Monday didn’t really hold much promise, however, “playful” was the word of the day. I had my early morning fix at Blackies, and the scene there [...]

Tuesday – Cold, crisp, clean, but with some small playful peaks at the exposed areas.

Tuesday – Cold, crisp, clean, but with some small playful peaks at the exposed areas.

Tuesday will be rideable…not huge or all that consistent…but surfable if you have spot with good exposure. The small wave gear will probably be the call for most breaks…but the combo spots will have a few faster sections.

Smaller and cleaner for the first part of the week…more storminess for the upcoming weekend

Smaller and cleaner for the first part of the week…more storminess for the upcoming weekend

We will get a break between storms over the next few days…the swell will be mostly be leftovers from the NPAC and a steady stream of S-SSW swell (180-200) that will help combo up the best exposed spots. More stormy weather, sloppy shape, and a boost of NW wind/stormswell will move in later this week.

Saturday’s Storm – Victory at sea!

Saturday’s Storm – Victory at sea!

Well that storm that was supposed to start arriving a couple of days ago is finally here and instead of taking the fast NW pass over Socal…this one is going to leisurely pivot just outside of our nearshore islands and then drive home a grip of rain and nasty wind that is going to tear up our surf for the next couple of days.

Friday’s Surf – A chance for waves but the weather has to completely ignore the forecast models (much like it did today…stupid weather.)

Friday’s Surf – A chance for waves but the weather has to completely ignore the forecast models (much like it did today…stupid weather.)

I am not going to call Friday a “surf day” since the weather/wind and now the 6’+ morning high tide are all trying their best to do funky things to the morning surf. At the same time there is still some clear skies holding over my house in HB and the front has basically stalled along the Central Coast…so there is at least a chance.

As I’m sure many of you have already seen (thanks to the new Solspot HD Huntington Cam), but the HB Pier and the cliffs were firing today. The sun was warm, the breeze was offshore and prime, and the volleyball players were rockin’. It was a nice day to spend at the beach. Check out [...]
