Good morning and a warm welcome to your bonus episode for sunny mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Saturday March 9th.
Coming up on today's show, we've got the weather and the surf report, so let's get
to it.
We can expect smaller waves to start the weekend, with the cleanest conditions in the morning
on Saturday.
A mix of northwest and small new south-southwest swells will be present, but high tides in
the morning might limit wave heights mostly to below waist-high.
Some spots will offer thigh-to-chest-high waves around high tide.
And to Sunday and beyond, a new northwest swell arrives, bringing potential for rideable waves.
Early next week, another northwest swell could bring waves to chest height at best spots,
with a south-southwest swell adding to the mix.
Conditions look to remain rideable through midweek.
Saturday in Encinitas and North County, it's clean and two feet for the morning, then a
little bigger but unrideable in the afternoon.
Best time to ride is before 10, and there's not much hope for later.
Get out there for dawn patrol and catch the end of the incoming high tide.
Look at a southwest swell that's one foot at 15 seconds, with no wind.
Looks like a longboard day, folks.
The first high tide Saturday will be 6 feet at 8 a.m. with a minus one foot low tide just
before 3.
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's cloudy and 50 degrees
with no wind.
The sunset will take place at 5.52 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.04.
Don't forget to spring ahead on Sunday morning.
You may be a little sleepy, but the extra sunlight is worth it.
Spring is in the air, my friends.
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 61 and wind of 5 to 10
mph.
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 52.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
