The beachbreaks should have better shape.
Yep. I don't think this will be a huge swell as it's topping out at 85 kts. But my usual does take a SSE pretty decently and I think the good times will keep on rollin... :shaka:

Christina is going to unravel quicker than initially forecast. Minimal hurricane status for one day and heading more westerly. Skunked.

Yep. Bummer. Although I think your spot of choice up north will be good (and you have been scoring lately - great pics btw). Also a fine time to have a boat to hit up certain spot(s) on south side of Santa Cruz Island.

Hopefully this hurricane starts to heat up the water around central Baja and create a path for future hurricanes this season.

we are in more or less the heart of Fay right now. and yeah, the promise of off shores, for south faces anyway, is not, uh, promising. but, with water in the mid 70's and summer flatness behind and ahead, i intend to surf a lot of sloppy crappy overhead surf the next few days

Went for a swim an hour ago, great to be in a moving ocean again.

I'm wondering how much the water temp will drop overnight.

South coast OR
La Nina taking it's toll on the Cristina forecast. Not making even minimum hurricane status. La Nina will probably give the EC a more active season, for better or worse. Careful what you wish for over there.

Cooler waters southwest of Cabo will keep storms from turning hurricane status a while longer. Once a storm gets up to latitude 20 or so SW of Cabo (straight S of SD), ocean temps are still cooler than normal. Will likely have to wait until late July/August for that prime stretch of So Cal window to warm up enough to sustain hurricane strength storms.
