SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 6-25-13
______________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH

Tropical Storm Cosme, the third named storm of the 2013 Eastern Pacific hurricane season, is churning well south of the Mexican Riviera.

The hurricane’s maximum sustained winds Tuesday morning are near 75 mph (120 kph) with some additional strengthening possible during the day. The hurricane is expected to weaken Wednesday and Thursday.

Cosme is centered about 365 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is moving northwest near 18 mph (30 kph).

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says the storm will generate large swells that will affect parts of Mexico’s Pacific coast Tuesday and parts of southern Baja California starting Tuesday night and into Thursday. The swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions.

For us in So Cal, only the most extreme South facing breaks will see any of this energy. It will come up the line practically sideways and be good for waist to chest high surf at only spots in the OC and a few other select breaks.

Wednesday morning should be pretty good as the that 16-18 second, long interval energy, from a 200 degree angle puts the better South facing breaks into the shoulder to head high range.

We’ll also see some unseasonal, NW ground swell roll in from a 300-305 degree angle. This won’t amount to more than waist high plus sets but everything helps.

The tide is super shallow early so don’t pull into any real brown barrels unless you have a legit shot at making it…

The conditions look okay with light and variable breezes out of the East going 1-3 MPH until 10 and then the winds will remain fairly mild out of the West through the afternoon. The air temp will jump up to a balmy 76 degrees.

Thursday morning should be another good day for waves for So Cal. That SW energy from a 200 degree angle will back down a hair but still carry plenty of punch and keep the top South facing beaches in the shoulder to head high zone.

The NW energy will kick it up a notch and deliver waist to chest high sets to the best West facing breaks.

THe extreme South facing breaks should get a glancing blow from the Tropical Storm/Hurricane energy with some waist to maybe chest high sets.

Tide remains frightening low for the dawn patrol which will hinder the size and shape at many breaks.

By Friday morning all energy will be backing down through the day. The NW swell will only be good for waist high plus sets and the SW energy will dip in size and consistency through the day, but should still dish up some chest high plus sets, (on the right tee), for the better spots.
