Monday the first round of SW swell (200-220) will start to peak and shift slightly more SSW. Look for the WNW-NW windswell to back down, still putting some waves into the exposed beaches but losing size, consistency, and power as we move through the day. Winds look clean, to offshore for the morning.
Swell/Tide/Wind DetailsPatchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 68. Light west wind becoming southwest 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon.
The mix of peaking SSW-SW swell (200-220) will hold through the day on Tuesday while the blend of short-period WNW-NW windswell continues to move in from our outer waters. Winds look like they may spin up some more eddy texture as we move through the day...not horrible, but enough to add some crumble to the more exposed spots.
Swell/Tide/Wind DetailsCloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 68. Light west wind becoming southwest 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon.
Look for the run of SSW-SW swell (200-210) to continue on Wednesday while the WNW-NW windswell (285-300 but mostly 290-300) continues to send in some playful sized energy to the well exposed spots. The Southern Hemi swell will slowly shift to a more SSW direction so expect more consistency at the S-SW facing beaches as we move through the day.
Swell/Tide/Wind DetailsCloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 67. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southwest in the morning.
More SSW swell (195-215) will slip down slightly on Thursday but more long-period energy will start to push in later in the day. Local windswell may get a bump as winds in the outer waters increase, but how much of it will be able to make it around the corner of Point Conception will depend on how the fetch sets up as we get closer.
Swell/Tide/Wind DetailsCloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 67.
The mix of S-SW swell (190-220) continues on Friday as more long-period swell moves in to reinforce the energy we already have in the water. Look for the NW windswell to hold through the day as well thanks to stronger outer water winds. Right now the conditions look a little textured thanks to another round of eddy conditions but the size-consistency of the swell should keep the crumble from getting to pronounced.
