CRNW Forecast of Fri, 2022-0603am

Stormy and junky looking out there this morning (630am CR time) just after a regular-sized high tide. The wind appears to be very light side shore. It won't be very motivating to paddle out some days it appears except for the notion I won't be surfing until Fall. I honestly do not think there has been a more mixed up swell in the nearly 20 years of going to CR, in Spring and early Green Season. Oh the curse of a lousy full-on La NiƱa.



HIGHLIGHTS 

  • Fresh SW swell moves in for the back half of the week
  • More onshore flow developing, with early mornings seeing the most favorable winds for many areas
  • Smaller Southern Hemis scheduled for the upcoming week 

WHAT’S HAPPENING: As an old SW swell eases going into the second half of the week, a new round of  slightly stronger SW(225-215) Southern Hemi will be filling in through the day on Thursday, with good exposures getting back into shoulder to head high+ surf  during the afternoon. Those better breaks are running head high to several feet overhead when the solid SW swell maxes out on Friday. Best of the best breaks, (aka Puerto Escondido, Mex), double those heights. Waves back slide through the weekend, but there will still be plenty of head high surf left on Sunday, showing strongest in the morning.

A widespread pattern of prevailing onshore winds is expected for the next several days. Early mornings see the most favorable winds in many areas, with a rising sea breeze to follow through the day. Be sure to check the High Res Wind charts for a detailed outlook on your  spots of interest.

LONGER RANGE: The SPAC looks to take a breather for a bit, as storm/swell production drops off. That means mainly just a pair of modest scale pulses of SW and S swell scheduled for next week. The first peaks during the 7th-8th, then the second tops out for the weekend, 11th-12th. Most spots average under shoulder high during those times. Extended progs are showing potential for a bit better shot of SSW swell around the 14th-16th time frame. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of all these storm/swell systems.
