Hot on the tail of this past week’s Tropical Storm Douglas (pics/story coming soonish), which saw double overhead swell hit on Thursday, we have another storm coming up the coast. Scheduled to hit sometime this coming Thursday, Tropical Depression FIVE-E must be NOAA’s inside joke / hat tip to the awesomeness that is WALL-E (if you haven’t seen it already, drop your Skil saw 100 and rush to the nearest movie theater). It’s still a bit early in the week to know exactly what kind of swell we’re going to get. Wet Sand is calling it at 24 feet (which will most certainly come down as the week progresses), Wave Watch calls it at 16 secs. and Surfline doesn’t even show anything, which is funky cuz they didn’t show Douglas either (um, em, *tink *tink, is this thing on?).
Happy skurfing!
Mex is scoring right now. Storm are too east for us to pick up swell. Surfline is crap. I’ve given up on those guys. Only subscription forecasting service and their forecasting is often just wrong.
