Thursday Swell Question

The CDIP is forecasting a Thursday morning swell of 4-ft at the pier, and 6-7 feet offshore. Sounds kinda hefty to me. Does anyone have any other forecasts or opinions on what the swell will be tomorrow a.m.?

I usually check Wetsand.com - Click on southern california, then reports to get a pretty good desciption of what to expect. Good luck - it might be a surfing day.

I have created an LJ conditions link page, with explanations for conservative "fishable" swell heights.

Big swells with long periods (>14 seconds) don't really affect the LJ Shores launch at all - as the canyon walls will refract the energy to Blacks and the Point - but, will affect all other SD beaches greatly.

Big, short period swell (less than 10 seconds) can make the LJ Shores launch dicey.

Your mileage may vary.

Thanks Larry!

I didn't go out. I wanted to badly, especially with rain forecasted for Friday, but it's too long of a drive from OC to get washed out at the launch.

I updated my links for the buoy charts to be more user friendly..... the charts won't resize to your browser, and will show more detail now.
