Wind, wind and more wind




10-15 mph SW winds with whitecaps and everything that goes with it. Head high junky storm surf and no one out. At least we will see the sun today. That and a Padres win over the Dodgers last night is about as much as one could ask for.

Surprise!




Drizzle, overcast skies, and a light south east breeze but surface conditions are better than anything over the last 4-5 days. The surf, however, not so much. Waist to chest short period westerly wind swell is still the rule. Crumbly with poor shape and 2 people out. It looks like the cloud cover is starting to break up (at least to the south) so maybe we might get to experience some sun today. That would be good.

Heard of "Junk Science"?




Well, today we have junk surf. No wind but the sea surface is pretty confused; lumps, chop and warble everywhere. As for the waves we have mostly waist to chest crumble with some larger lined up, closed out sets. Overall, poor conditions and poor shape. 9 people out trying to chase down a corner but not having much luck. It was better yesterday even with the south wind that was on it pretty much out of the gate.

Short or long...




Short period west wind swell is hanging around producing some rather mediocre surf. Knee to waist on the inside with some waist to chest lined up, crumbly set waves. Still some leftover chunk on the water. Long, wide rip in front of the ramp reaching out past the north lineup and then spreading south to the reef. 10 people out.
