Busted thermostat.
The current water temp is just ridiculous. 15 degrees of shrinkage doesn’t sound cold, but it is. Especially when we can get up to 23 degrees around here at this time of year. I was gonna get some nerdy scientist to write up a synopsis explaining the current changes blah…my take is that 10 days of northerlies does this. Send us your theories and I see if I can dig out a prize.

Today is the last cold water day as a new southerly weather pattern kicks in for the week. This means a few things: clouds/rain/grey will spoil our hot run later today, water temp. should increase, winds will be SW this morning and SE 15-20 knots this afternoon, swell direction will swing to south this afternoon and cooler temperatures will prevail for the rest of the week. Surfing this week is pretty lame with no major swells due. Yawn. Tomorrow is probably your best bet - maybe south 3ft/NE wind.

Currently we’ve got a good looking morning with 1-2 foot weak wind dribbles (that short interval stuff). So go swim before the weather changes later today. Laters:uge
