We will have a couple of playful surf days over the weekend. Nothing great but better than the super small sizes we had plaguing us during the beginning of the week. Keep in mind that while we have some swell, we are still going to need to find a spot that can break it up a little bit.
The SW swell mix (190-220) will continue to peak into Saturday before slowly fading on Sunday. There will also be some minor windswell in the water but with short periods (around 3-4 seconds which basically makes it “wind-chop” coming in from the outer waters). So it won’t do much of a job of breaking up the longer mostly walled up lines at the beach breaks.
Check out the CDIP nowcast for this afternoon.
You can see that while all of SD is getting some surf the majority of the bigger sets and energy is going to be focusing in just a few areas like North County and a few select areas in Central County.
The wind looks ok for the next couple of mornings. Forecast charts are calling it light and variable with a slight eddy-type flow to it. So look for weak southerly winds through the mornings with some building W-WNW winds 10-15 knots through the afternoons. Cloudy overcast skies at first and then some burn off through the end of the day.
Since there are a lot of beach breaks around my neck of the woods, I really wish that there was something to break this swell up a bit. Unfortunately we aren’t going to get much help in that department so you will have to be a bit more selective in your spot choice. Points and reefs will continue to be the best callj then fall back on the piers/jetties/rocks/submerged cars/shipwrecks/really slow whales that can create a little crease in the lines coming in. You can still expect some longer waits between waves but we should have a little more consistency over the next couple of days.
