Friday's Surf - waves, waves, and more waves

Friday will be a surf day thanks to the mix of slowly building SW swell and generally surfable conditions.

The first leg of our SW swell train will continue to peak on Friday. Most spots will have surf in the chest-high range while the standout Pacific Side standouts see some shoulder high+ sets at times. Waves will be a little inconsistent, especially on the drained out low tides, but there will be plenty to ride if the crowd isn't bad at your spot.

Winds look pretty typical and similar to the last few days. Light NW flow for the Pacific Side in the mornings and cleaner S-SW winds for Cabo/East Cape areas. Then NW-W winds 10-15+ knots on tap for most areas by the afternoon.

Points and Reefs will likely be the most fun shapewise...beach breaks may have a few combo sets...but if you drove all the way to Baja to surf a beach break I may throw rocks at you when you get home.

Plan on getting lots of fun waves over the weekend and into early next week as more and more SW energy arrives over the next several days. Check back I will have another update (for the weekend) tomorrow.

Tuesday’s Surf in Baja Sur – Time to regroup

Mostly leftovers will be showing on Tuesday in Baja Sur. It won’t be much of a surf day but there will be a few longboard waves sneaking through at the standout breaks.

On average look for surf in the knee-waist high range while the best combo breaks (that can pull in a little local windswell) will see some chest high sets.

Winds will be a bit breezy as well…NW flow around 20-25 knots will build in throughout the day and peak during the afternoon.

Really the next couple of days are good travel days. There is another decent sized S swell that will be moving into the well exposed breaks as we head into the weekend. Spend the next couple of days building your camping kit out and getting into position for this next swell.

Wednesday in Baja Sur - Get ready for the weekend

Wednesday will be a surf day…well at least if you are already in position for the bigger SW swell (for the weekend)…if you aren’t then get on the road!

On Wednesday we will see a mix of SW swell, some building local NW windswell, and some new long-period SW swell that starts showing late in the afternoon.

Most spots will continue to see waist-chest high surf.

Standout breaks, mostly the great Pacific Side combo spots, will have some chest-shoulder high+ sets sneaking through.

Shape will be ok…particularly for the morning…but it will be a bit inconsistent and have some wind problems by the afternoon as stronger NW flow moves down the coast.

Breaks around Cabo will be cleaner with winds out of the N-NW around 10 knots.

Look for more SW swell later this week…hitting more on Thursday and eventually peaking Friday before fading on Saturday.
