Northern California Surf Forecast: Six to Twelve Foot Waves Tuesday and Wednesday June Ninth and Tenth

Good morning, this is your Northern California surf forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, June ninth and tenth. Let's start up north in Sonoma and Marin County, where surfers can expect six to nine foot waves Tuesday under partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will range from the low fifties to mid-seventies, with northwest winds starting at eleven miles per hour and building to nineteen. The tide picture shows a low of one point seven feet early in the morning at one sixteen, climbing to a high of three point seven feet by mid-morning, then dipping back down to one point one feet around lunchtime before peaking again at five point five feet in the evening. Wednesday brings larger surf to the north coast. Northwest-facing beaches will see eight to twelve foot waves, while southwest-facing exposures will get six to nine feet. Expect mostly sunny conditions with highs reaching fifty-five to eighty-eight degrees. Winds will be stronger, pushing twenty-one miles per hour and gusting up to twenty-six. No thunderstorms are expected either day. Moving down the coast to San Francisco and San Mateo counties, Tuesday's forecast calls for six to nine foot surf with mostly cloudy skies and water temperatures around fifty-one degrees. Highs will be in the mid-fifties to low seventies with lighter winds starting at six miles per hour and becoming fourteen. Wednesday gets significantly better here. Expect nine to thirteen foot waves under mostly sunny skies with highs reaching fifty-six to eighty-six degrees. Northwest winds will be moderate at thirteen to eighteen miles per hour. The tides follow the same pattern as Marin. Santa Cruz County surfers are looking at six to nine feet Tuesday with partly cloudy conditions and fifty-three degree water. Winds stay light at five to seventeen miles per hour, and highs reach the mid-fifties to upper seventies. Wednesday brings more promising conditions to Santa Cruz with seven to eleven foot waves and partly cloudy skies. Temperatures climb to fifty-seven to ninety-three degrees. Northwest winds blow twelve to eighteen miles per hour. Rounding out our forecast down in Monterey Bay and Big Sur, conditions are a bit more modest. Tuesday sees three to six foot waves with partly cloudy skies and the warmest water temperature of the forecast at fifty-nine degrees. Highs reach fifty-nine to seventy-eight degrees with very light winds. Wednesday, Monterey Bay picks up slightly with six to nine foot waves and partly cloudy conditions. Highs climb to sixty-one to eighty-nine degrees with light winds staying between four and ten miles per hour. Overall, this looks like a quality mid-week swell event, especially for the more exposed beaches north of Big Sur. Tuesday sets the stage with solid six to nine foot waves everywhere, but Wednesday is when the show really gets going with potential double overhead conditions on the best-facing exposures. Remember to check with your local authorities on any beach closures. Have a great time out there. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

California Surf Forecast This Weekend Eight to Thirteen Foot Waves Hit Northern Central Coast Friday

Good morning surfers. We're looking at some solid waves rolling into Northern and Central California this weekend, with a Beach Hazards Statement in effect from three AM Friday through nine AM Saturday. Let's break down what's coming. Starting with Sonoma and Marin County, northwest facing beaches are going to be firing with eight to twelve foot waves on Friday, dropping slightly to eight to twelve on Saturday. Southwest facing breaks will see four to seven feet Friday, then three to six on Saturday. Winds are going to be a factor here, starting at twenty four miles per hour Friday morning and ramping up to twenty eight by afternoon. Saturday's looking even windier with gusts to thirty two miles per hour. Temperatures will range from the mid-fifties to mid-eighties Friday, then cooling to the low fifties to low seventies Saturday. The water's going to be chilly but no thunderstorms expected, so you've got mostly clear skies to work with. Over in San Francisco and San Mateo County, the swell's slightly bigger with northwest facing beaches getting nine to thirteen feet Friday morning. That's the premium setup if you can get out early. South facing breaks will have five to eight feet. Friday's looking mostly sunny with light winds in the teens, perfect conditions for paddle out. Saturday, the swell backs off to eight to twelve feet on the NW faces with four to seven on the southwest facing beaches. Winds pick up to the high twenties though. Water temperature's hovering around fifty two degrees, so a quality wetsuit is essential. Santa Cruz County is also waking up to some excellent conditions. Northwest faces will see eight to twelve feet Friday with five to eight on the south facing breaks. Friday's the lighter wind day here with just ten to fourteen miles per hour, making it ideal for getting quality rides. Water's a bit warmer at fifty five degrees. Saturday switches things up with nine to thirteen feet on the northwest breaks, which is actually an upgrade from Friday. South facing beaches hold five to eight feet. Winds increase to the mid-twenties but still manageable. Down south in Monterey Bay and Big Sur, things are a touch more mellow. West facing beaches are looking at six to ten feet both days with three to six foot options on the south facing spots. Friday's got almost no wind initially, just three miles per hour that picks up to nine, making it an absolute glass off day down there. Water temperature's the warmest of the bunch at fifty nine degrees. Saturday maintains the six to ten foot range on west faces with very light winds until they nudge up to twenty three miles per hour by afternoon. Tide-wise, you've got high tides early in the morning and mid-afternoon, with some notably low tides mid-morning. That negative tide Friday morning could expose some fun beach breaks and reef sections worth checking out. Bottom line: Friday's your premium day across the board, especially early morning before the winds build. Saturday's still solid but expect more wind and slightly smaller waves in most areas. Get out there and make the most of it, and as always, check with your local authorities on any beach closures before you head out.
