It’s calm, clean and glassy, but the water temp is still frigid, checking in at 57. Northwest wind swells, which typically end in May, are predicted to possibly last well into June and even into July, stirring up colder off-shore water, which moves closer to shore.
Plenty of longboarder-friendly waves today. There’s a slight south showing; later this afternoon NW windswell may pick up.
Models were predicting 4-6 feet today, but as of mid-morning, that prediction has yet to come true. Tide is still low, however, so by the time it peaks at 1:30 p.m. at 3.7 feet, there might be a bump in wave heights.

Surf forecast for tomorrow, Monday: Any day now, we’re due for a very long period south swell, up to 20 seconds. It’s too early to tell if the angle will hit Encintias beaches or not. In all likelihood, it’ll be another 2- to 3-feet day with very cold water. Don’t hang up your 4 mil. suit just yet for summer.
