SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED on September-10-2019
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
HURRICANE WATCH: As of Tuesday morning eastern Pacific remains devoid of any organized tropical features, though this is expected to change later in the week.
We will be closely monitoring a tropical wave a few hundred miles to the south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, during the next few days for the potential of tropical development. An area of low pressure is expected to develop along this tropical wave and a tropical depression is likely to develop later this week. The most likely track will be to the west or northwest, away from Mexico and into the open waters of the eastern Pacific.
We may see another tropical system develop next week to the south of southwestern Mexico, so it appears as if the eastern Pacific will remain active through the middle of the month. In a nutshell… nothing legit is in the hopper just yet.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
For Monday morning it looks like we’ll see chest to shoulder high surf for the better South facing breaks, (210-215 degrees with 15-16 second intervals).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
For Wednesday morning we’ll see a combo of fading short interval NW energy and 2 SW swells, (1. 210-215 degrees with 14-15 second intervals & 2. 205 degrees with more potent 16-17 second intervals).
The spots that face the SW should see chest to shoulder high + sets with a few larger waves mixing in.
The longer interval SW energy should favor the points and reefs on the North end of the Bay and beyond.
There’s a decent tide push through the early morning and winds look fair.
