SURF SYNOPSIS:
Nearshore buoys are up a little from yesterday AM, but down a little from
yesterday PM.
There are three swells running. The dominant waves are a wind
swell at 4-8 sec period.
The second swell, dominant Pt La Jolla and south, is 10-12 sec from the NW.
The third swell is a long perod (12-16sec) swell from the SW.
It is comparable in size to the W at Oceanside and N.
The current N-NW swell should be building to a modest peak midday Tuesday.
Expect some modest wind chop to also build. A weak S swell began arriving
yesterday and will slowly build to a weak peak Tuesday afternoon.
=========================================================================
What I say:
South wind and a variety of swell directions - but not mixed-up.
Interesting to have more than one swell, without it looking like a washing machine.
Above photo is La Jolla Shores - pretty typical wave size
Ended-up body surfing at Hospitals, 6:00 am. - by myself -
Still able to get to work by 7:30 am
