By Friday morning that same SW swell will dip into the chest high + zone in the AM and decrease into the afternoon. Conditions look a bit suspect as a temporary onshore flow slips into the seam below high pressure systems!

The conditions look iffy at best with onshore winds in the 5-11 MPH zone until noon and 7-15 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 71 degrees.

For Saturday morning that SW swell will be heading in for hospice care as it fades away into nothingness. The more exciting news is that we’ll see some fresh NW ground swell roll down the line from a steep 300-310 degree angle with 17 second intervals. Any West facing beach that is receptive to that direction should rack up shoulder high to WOH sets, (only at the most exposed West facing beaches). At the very least we should be able to see if there are any sand bars out there at the beach breaks, or if we’re starting from scratch again… San Diego and Baja Norte should be SOLID!

The conditions look fantastic with N/NNE winds in the 3-6 MPH zone until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and a 6-10 MPH breezesout of the West in the afternoon. The air temp bumps up to 77 degrees.

For Sunday morning the NW should remain the main feature with shoulder to head high + sets for the top West facing breaks. We’ll also see some steeply angled, (180 + degrees with 18 second intervals), South swell enter fray. The steep nature of the swell direction means it will bypass all but the most exposed South facing breaks. Beaches in the OC and San O’ area should dish up chest high + sets.

Sunday
2017-10-22 Sun 04:38 AM 2.00 feet Low Tide

2017-10-22 Sun 08:26 PM Moonset

The conditions look great with N/NNE winds in the 5-10 MPH zone until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and 9-15 MPH winds out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 83 degrees.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Monday morning we’ll see the NW swell dip down into the waist to chest high range and remain on the same steep trajectory of 300-310 degrees. The SW energy will drum up waist to chest high sets from that steep 175-180 degree angle and the intervals will dip to 14-16 seconds.

There’s still swell to be had but the severity of the angles will make it a bit more challenging to find waves.

Monday
2017-10-23 Mon 12:12 AM 3.85 feet High Tide

2017-10-23 Mon 06:36 PM 0.66 feet Low Tide
2017-10-23 Mon 09:08 PM Moonset

The conditions looks excellent with high pressure putting a firm grip on So Cal. We’re due to see N/NNE breezes in the 5-10 MPH zone until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and a mild 4-7 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp jumps up to 90 degrees.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

For Tuesday morning the SW swell will remain relevant waist to chest high sets for the exposed South facing beaches. Same steep angle with slightly shorter intervals.

It looks like we’ll see another round of NW swell fill in through the day too. From what I can tell it should go shoulder to HH and possibly bigger. Check back tomorrow for more details.

2017-10-24 Tue 09:52 PM Moonset

The conditions look unbelievable with N/NNE winds in the 6-10 MPH zone until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and 4-7 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp climbs up to a blazing 92 degrees on the sand.
