Wow, I need to surf again soon! I haven’t surfed since the Saturday after Christmas.  My friends and I happened to score some left over storm surf at Carmel Beach (11th street) that Saturday after Christmas.  All the Holidays, California rain and work definitely got in the way.  There is supposed to be some swell right now, but I will miss that swell too.  Time to go look at the forecasts and find out when I should surf again.

I was reading the California surf reports this morning and the reports show some chance of fun surf this weekend.  The South Pacific is showing signs of activity.  The predicted storms down by New Zealand looks like they should arrive around January 4-5, 2009.  Central and Southern California should see the best waves.  Keep your eyes open and continue to check the swell forecasts.

Swell Forecasts

I was searching around the net for surf forecasts and found some interesting swell predictions.  The experts are predicting a strong North Pacific storm for the end of next week.  Northern California, the Central Coast, and Southern California will all see increased wave heights and stronger waves.  NorCal and the Central Coast should look for the swell to peak on Friday.  The swell will continue down the coast and light up all the surf spots from Point Conception to Baja California.  Looks like late Friday and Saturday will be the best bet for Southern California.

Happy Halloween!

Enjoy a safe and happy Halloween all you surfers and everybody else in the world.

I would also like to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful and beautiful girlfriend.  Happy Birthday Special!

There is a big storm in the South Pacific generating some really nice SSW-SW swell for Southern California, Baja Mexico, Mainland Mexico, and Central America.

The swell predictors are forecasting great swell for October 22-25, depending on your location. Southern California surfers should look for the new swell to peak during October 24-25. Shoulder-head high+ surf should be the story for Southern California, while Southern Baja and Central America receiving solid, overhead surf.
