Description

Good morning, this is your San Diego County surf zone forecast for Thursday, May 21st through Friday. Let's start with today. We're looking at small waves, one to three feet with sets pushing up to four feet, which honestly is pretty typical for late May around here. The water's going to be pleasantly cool at 62 to 66 degrees, so you might want to grab that spring suit if you're planning to spend some time out there. The swell situation is interesting today because we've got mixed energy coming in from multiple directions, primarily from the south and the west. That's going to create some varied conditions throughout the day. Rip current risk remains low, so you shouldn't have any major concerns there, but as always, stay aware of any unusual currents pulling you seaward. Tides are going to be pretty dynamic. High tide hits early this morning at La Jolla around 1:33 AM, then we drop to a low of negative 0.7 feet at 9:15 AM, which is a nice negative tide. We'll see another high around 4:29 in the afternoon at 3.5 feet, then finish out the day with a low around 8:51 PM at 2.6 feet. No thunderstorms are expected, so you can count on pretty consistent conditions throughout the day. Moving into Friday, conditions stay relatively similar. Waves remain in that one to three foot range, keeping it mellow for everyone from beginners to folks just looking for a relaxing paddle out. The water temperature hangs in that 62 to 66 degree range, so same wetsuit situation. Friday's swell will be primarily coming from the south at 200 degrees, so we'll get cleaner, more organized conditions compared to today's mixed bag. That should make for more predictable wave patterns if you're trying to dial in your technique. The rip current risk stays low, and again, no thunderstorms in the forecast. Friday's tides will shift slightly with a high at 2:44 AM, a low of negative 0.3 feet at 10:19 AM, then another high at 5:32 PM around 3.9 feet, finishing with a low at 10:38 PM. Overall, you're looking at a pretty solid couple of days for the water. It's going to be small and mellow, perfect conditions if you're newer to surfing or just want to get some easy waves in. Get out there and enjoy it. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
