Thursday Afternoon Surf Report

I have surfed the last four days in a row, and am slowly getting back into shape after the weeks of no surf due to rain, run-off, etc. The week started out with some fairly good sized surf, with set wave heights in the head high range. As the week progressed, a rare pulse of swell activity visited us from the southwest, doing wonders for the beach breaks here in Encinitas. Tuesday and Wednesday saw some of the nicest, peeling waves at the beach since last summer, and combined with the amazing weather we had, brought out a few more surfers than average.

Today, the swell has dropped significantly and looks like it will continue to do so until the weekend, when there is a good chance that San Diego will be visited by rain again. This is unfortunate as it also looks like another nice southwest pulse will be coming in on Sunday and Monday, so I'll cross my fingers for no rain.
