SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 8-19-13
______________________________________________________________________________
HURRICANE WATCH 8-18-13
In the Eastern Pacific, there are no major threats for imminent development. There is a widespread cluster of rain and thunderstorms roughly 500 miles south-southwest of southern Mexico that will begin to move into somewhat favorable conditions with low wind shear as it tracks westward. This will allow for this system to gradually develop and it could be a depression by the middle of this upcoming week. Most of the computer modeling suggest this system will be a tropical cyclone by week’s end.

Wednesday morning is shaping up to be another stinker with near flat surf for So Cal. With global warming and giant storms taking center stage, you’d think we could at least get some warmer water and a few well placed wind events to get us some surf. I’m thinking this Winter is going to be the year we’ve been waiting for, (glass full).

Thursday morning should see a slight improvement, but there’s a caveat involved… for only the most exposed South facing breaks. The top spots in the OC and San O’ areas will see some 14-16 second ground swell from a severe, 175-180 degree angle. Don’t be shocked when you head down to Manhattan Pier and it’s flat…
