Hurricane Watch There are currently no active tropical systems across the eastern Pacific, and no tropical development is expected for at least the next 24-48 hours.

An area of low pressure that is currently near the Gulf of Tehuantepec has disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with it. This system is expected to track to the west-northwest or west over the next several days. As this occurs, the chances for development will rise as the storm moves into a better environment.

For Wednesday morning we’ll dip into the knee to waist high zone as that wind swell taps out through the day.

For Thursday morning things will start off on the slow side, but a strapping SW swell will sidle it’s way in through the day, building throughout the morning and into the afternoon. The direction will be a reasonable 195-200 degrees with 20 + second intervals. The beginning of the swell will arrive in small flurries and continue to strengthen into the afternoon.

The conditions look to be fair + with light and variable winds in the 1-3 MPH zone until noon and 6-8 MPH out of the West in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 74 degrees.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Friday morning we’re slated to see a significant bump up in size at the best South facing breaks. If models hold true, we should see shoulder high to a few feet OH sets roll in from that same 195-200 degree angle with 18-20 second intervals. This one looks pretty solid, so dust off your paddling arms and find a nice S/SW facing reef or point!

We are also expecting to see a combo of NW ground and NW wind swell enter the fray, with waist, to possibly chest high sets for the top West facing spots. The SW energy will remain the featured player, but the energy out of the West could cut up the long Southerly lines and help out the beach breaks in terms of wave shape.

For the Hermosa HOTDOGGER SURF CONTEST FORECAST on Saturday morning it looks like Mother Nature will sprinkle at least a little love in the direction of the longboarders. While nothing epic will file into Hermosa beach, there should be a fairly steady stream of smallish, NW ground swell and NW wind swell in play throughout the day. We’re anticipating waist high + surf with some larger sets mixing in.

The more dominant swell will be out of the SW from that same 195-200 degree angle, but the motherlode of energy will sneak right past Hermosa in favor of the more receptive S/SW facing beaches.

For everyone else, expect that SW energy to continue to drum up head high to a few feet OH sets throughout the day. This energy will get into almost any spot with a look at the South and the West/SW facing breaks will get the NW combo swell mixing in!

For Sunday morning we’ll continue to see fairly solid SW swell, and the NW energy holds through the day. The better South facing breaks will see chest to shoulder high sets with head high waves mixing in. This swell will be on a slow methodical fade over the next 3 days, which in a nutshell means it will get smaller and less consistent as time passes by.
