This week is looking slow, read my forecast note here

Wednesday 1/28 - Saturday 1/31

Flat


Week of 2/08 - 2/15

This won’t be a particularly busy week for surf, but we should start to see evidence of more frequent swell events as we approach the weekend. We will have waves on Monday 2/9 and possibly leftovers on Tuesday 2/10 (low probability). The real story is going to be what happens over the weekend into the following week. Currently, it looks like we should see a solid swell come through on 2/15 with cleaner conditions for 2/16. More on that below.

Too early to say, but the following week (2/16-2/22) has one of the best charts I’ve seen in a while. Back-back-back swells are possible. Fingers crossed.

Thursday 2/12 - Friday 2/13

Flat

Weekend of Valentines Day

There’s still a lot of uncertainty at this point and major atmoshperic models are pretty different. I think it’s safe to say there will be swell, but the amount we see and the resulting swell direction is still very much up in the air.

Either way, Saturday looks to be flat, which works out for the holiday. Sunday is likely to be stormy and onshore. Luckily, we aren’t likely to see snow from this system but heavy rain is a possibility depending on what happens.
