SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED on 7-12-2019
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH: Tropical development is not expected across the eastern Pacific through at least Monday, but we are monitoring a couple of tropical waves moving across the region.

The first tropical wave located about 400 hundred miles west-southwest of the southern coast of Mexico is associated with a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are not forecast to be favorable for development with this system as it moves west-northwest, well offshore of the southern coast of Mexico.

The other tropical wave is located over 1,600 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Clouds and showers are disorganized with this feature also and development is not expected as environmental conditions are not favorable and it moves west over open waters over the next few days.

For Saturday morning we will chest to shoulder high surf out of the SW from 195-200 degrees and 18-19 second intervals continue to fill in throughout the day. The top South facing breaks will be the best call, (and should see a fair share of head high + sets), but there is enough West in this swell to get into the beaches with a peek at the SW.

NW wind swell will continue to dish up waist high + peaks from 310 degrees with 8 second intervals

For Monday morning this swell will be on a slow fade but dish up waist to chest high sets in the AM and get less consistent and smaller as the day wears on. The swell will continue to roll in from a 200 degree angle and have 13-14 second intervals in the morning.

For Tuesday morning the last of that SW swell will get a boost from another dose of energy from 205-210 degrees with 17-18 second intervals. This should boost the better S/SW facing breaks into the chest high + range.

Lastly it appears as if we’ll see some more NW wind swell come into play from a steep 310 degree angle with 9-10 second intervals. That should give the better West facing beaches waist to possibly chest high peaks.
