HURRICANE WATCH October 21st, 2014 – The Eastern Pacific Basin remains quiet, and no tropical development is expected for the next several days.
In the central Pacific Basin, Ana continues to slowly weaken. The storm will make a turn more to the north tonight and Wednesday then accelerate to the northeast toward the end of the week and into the weekend. Ana will try to re-strengthen some Wednesday and Thursday, but it will remain below hurricane strength.

For Wednesday morning that same swell will continue to crank out head high to overhead sets through the morning and then very slowly start to ease up into the afternoon. This ground swell will continue to roll in from 295-300 degree angle and likely continue to dish up closed out surf at most of the West facing beach breaks. If you found good waves today, they’ll be there tomorrow… don’t tell anyone but me where you surfed though… mums the word!

For Thursday morning, that ground swell will continue to produce some decent surf as less consistent, chest to head high sets march into the best West facing breaks. The swell angle remains right around 300 degrees.

For Saturday morning that NW energy will be on it’s way to the hospice but twitch out a few more inconsistent sets in the waist to chest high range for top West facing breaks.

Another pulse of NW swell, from an angle of 300-305 degrees should start to fill in later in the day. The most exposed West facing breaks, that are receptive to swell from that angle, should see chest to shoulder high sets.

Saturday
2014-10-25 Sat 03:58 AM 1.76 feet Low Tide

2014-10-25 Sat 07:38 PM Moonset
2014-10-25 Sat 11:29 PM 4.12 feet High Tide

The conditions look okay as high pressure starts to break down and we have a light onshore flow with 2-6 MPH breezes out of the West until noon and onshore winds in the 10-14 MPH zone in the afternoon. The air temp tops out at 72 degrees.
___________________________________________________________________________

For Sunday morning that NW energy should peak in the AM with chest to shoulder high zone from that same steep 300 + degree angle.

The wind projections are calling for some fierce winds in the Santa Barbara channel all day which means we should see a nice little burst of short interval NW wind swell for the West facing breaks on Monday morning. That could change but as of today it looks good on paper.
