.......or we can chalk this up to normal weather patterns on this spec of the earth, which it is.stu dog said:
Usually those NW winds keep the Cal coastal regions in almost near perfect temps. Heating inland tends to reinforce those afternoon sea-breezes, because of the thermal draw in the 100 degree deserts and inland valleys. Once the ocean temps rise (usually just surface warming in So Cal), the difference between the coast temps and inland temps is reduced somewhat, and the sea-breeze either starts later in the morning, or doesn't pick up nearly as much as the Spring temp differences.
It's trippy sometimes, specially into summer. Sometimes there will be solid nice seabreeze at my house a few miles inland and up on a mesa about 300 ft above sea level, but almost no wind down on the coast. Many days, I'll be at home in the afternoon, thinking it's blown out down at the beach, but checking cams, and it's almost glassy, if not any wind. Sometimes it will be the exact opposite.
The inversion layers can do interesting things in summer in So Cal.
Actually, yesterday was quite fun. Wind was a slightly different direction and didn't blow the waves to shreds but it was nasty out so it was uncrowded.
Yes I know Spring in San Diego. I just don't remember it being so relentless with the wind.
I don't know where you surf but I've been trunking it all week up here. It's in the high 60'sBajaBoojum said:
