Hump Day

Smaller swell but still from that 270 direction which means mostly walled up and closed out. Surf is in the waist to chest high zone; slightly larger on the sets. Sea surface has some lump on it and there are several large rips here and there. 20 people out mostly sitting inside trying to pick off some smaller stuff while keeping an eye out for the sets. Calm winds; dropping tide.

Have a good one

More close outs

Del Mar is simply overwhelmed with the main swell direction of 270 at 14 seconds. Head high to head high plus with long lined up walls. Closing out from Tres Palmas to the south end of the reef. Tide is still in retreat so don't look for any relief on that front. Every ten minutes or so a bone crushing 8-10 foot set rumbles in obliterating everything in its path. Good surface conditions, calm wind with partly cloudy skies and a very light crowd; 3.

Dropped off a little

But only in terms of consistency. Waist to chest with head high sets; all close outs. Tide is dropping which is going to adversely affect shape (which is already bad) and size. Good surface conditions. 10 people out.

Small, but not for long

Knee to waist high surf with fair surface conditions this morning. Sets are slightly larger but closed out. Nothing spectacular just sort of your average crumbly Del Mar surf. Frigid air temps. 10 people out.

There are some beach water quality advisories for parts of La Jolla and Cardiff reef but none here. Check it out for yourself at www.sdbeachinfo.com.

Have a good one
