Weather Forecast 12/15/2020

The last surf prediction pretty much locked  in. I’ll take another look tomorrow.  We’re in that gradually cooling water temperature trend that lasts until somewhere between the end of December to February depending on the year.  If the cold fronts shut off after that Xmas front, we might get one or two or three big ones after that. For the most part it’s a short cooling trend only to start warming back up quick. It varies from year to year though. Last years winter didn’t last very long. The next 7 days has our coldest day after that windy cold front day on Thurday, Friday with a high around 64. Most of the week the temperatures are looking nice around mid day. There will be some mix of overcast around the start of next week with what could be another cold front. Mostly nice weather with some cooler days this week.

The surf forecast is looking bleak. I’m not feeling very enthusiastic about the upcoming two swells. The Monday/Tuesday thing is pretty much non-existent. They are showing a little pulse on the GFS wind model, groundswell type of pulse. Those kind of things I feel like they are usually just screwing with me. The next front looks stronger. Last time I checked it, it looked like a mostly north, northwest swell. Those swells can be super cold, small and funky like the last one. The latest run shows it coming more from the northwest, potentially some decent west in it. Waist high sounds about right. On this run the best time to surf is projected as Thusday morning. Take every piece of weather projection with a grain of salt.

I saw Gulfster calling a cold front for this weekend or Monday. That one was originally supposed to push through. Its now supposed to go backdoor. The front stalls. We get nothing from that one. Something could be happening later in the week, now around Wednesday and Thursday. That one looks weak as well. It could be a wave maker; it could be nothing. Time will tell.
