Thursday’s Surf in Baja Sur – waiting for more swell

Thursday will be a surf day but it will be on the small side…really it will be a better day to get into position for the next SW swell which arrives on Friday and holds into the weekend.

On Thursday most spots will see a mix of SW swell and local windswell. Average breaks will be in the waist-chest high+ range while the standout SW spots and the great combo spots see some shoulder-head high waves on inconsistent sets.

The biggest waves will be on the Pacific Side…Cabo and the East Cape will be pretty small.

I actually think the beach breaks will be a bit more consistent, and a little more rideable than most other breaks on Thursday…just due mostly to the swell inconsistency and smaller size…the windswell could help cross up the beach breaks a bit better and fill in the gaps of the swell.

Again I wouldn’t drive very far to get waves on Thursday…but I would use the day to get to a better SW spot so I could get the better swell that hits over the weekend.

Baja Sur: Friday...more small waves

Another small day rolls through on Friday. Not much swell in the water so you will be looking for basically weak NW energy, local windswell, and some leftover SW energy. Look for the biggest waves on the Pacific Side…and then smaller and smaller as you move around the tip to the East Cape.

Things are looking up though…a new fun-sized SW swell (waist-chest high+) moves in over the weekend. So we should have more rideable waves showing in a couple of days.
