This week is going to get windy – sloppy surf on the way.

The size of this week’s swell event will be large, the period however will be short and the form will most likely be a bit on the nasty side. Protected spots will be the key, but shorter period swell doesn’t always wrap too well into the nooks and crannies. I think with the amount of size that is currently forecast should still be enough to get a few choice tucked away spots working. The current is going to be strong at a lot of spots so be careful out there.

The weekend swell should be decent.

The winds should turn more easterly while the longer period swell fills in for the weekend. We should still see surf in the head high or bigger range so this weekend is looking pretty fun now. The latest model runs are making Saturday through Monday look really enticing. We could see some surf in the 2-4ft overhead range and perfect conditions. Bear in mind that this is a few days out and anything can change for the worse between now and then. As of right now however, this weekend is looking like it will go off!

Rincon Gets Skunked!

The models kept calling for a long period NE swell for this weekend. In reality it’s just some short period windswell from the ENE. This will leave Rincon small for the next few days. The next few towns up from Rincon should be more exposed to the waves and remain clean in the mornings. Some of the spots up on the north side of the island should be seeing some head high and bigger surf. That might be your best bet.
