Surf Report & Forecast for Oct. 4-5

No swell and rain make for a bad surf combo.

Small, short-lived pop-up peaks are keeping most local breaks deserted this morning. Add to that the first signs of our first rainstorm of the year. 

Surf is in the ankle to knee high range. Good day for a long paddle. Tides today: 10:00 a.m. at 3 feet and 4:00 p.m. at 5 feet. 

Southwest wind builds later today; shouldn't be victory at sea but wind will spoil any chance of a fun afternoon glass off.

Sunset tonight: 6:31 p.m. 

Water temp will likely go down soon after this cold front. Currently it's about 63. Red tide is still in effect with concentrations varying by location and tide.

For tomorrow, Wednesday the 5th, storm surf could bring bigger waves than the last few days, perhaps in the 3-4 foot range, but shape and form could be compromised. Have your kite handy just in case.
