your reading comprehension skills may have failed you this ONCE.

fake name doesn't camp; I have no issues camping... I've never been to a spa in my life, prefer a breakfast of a power bar and Gatorade.

have fun at the spa

Well, now's your chance.

Surf forcast, for northern Baja.

Elsewhere; we're watching tropical storm Norbert (currently located about 325nm S of Manzanillo, Mexico), which is strengthening and will soon hit hurricane force. As of right now, Norbert is forecasted to enter Baja Norte's swell window by late Thursday. Under that scenario, best exposed spots could see rising SSE tropical swell this weekend. Stay tuned.

Red Alert

Norbert

Major Hurricane Norbert is 470 miles south of the Baja tip and should reach Cat 4 status today!

[Guest Hammerin Hammon]

HERE IS THE LATEST, GREAT NEWS UPDATE! TOTALLY AWESOME!

steadily fills in throughout the day on Saturday at south facing areas, with head high to easily overhead waves at those spots. Standouts go doubleoverhead+ on sets then

Hurricane Norbert was beginning to move into Baja Norte's swell window on Wednesday. Progs have Norbert staying in the eastern end of that swell window as he moves our way through the next 36+ hours. Under that scenario, a very healthy SE~165 hurricane swell starts to show on Friday then steadily fills in throughout the day on Saturday at south facing areas, with head high to easily overhead waves at those spots. Standouts go doubleoverhead+ on sets then. Slowly fading but still very good waves on Sunday and the trend towards dropping surf continues into next Monday. Due to the extreme angle of this swell,beaches without the good SSE view will mainly miss all of the SE surf. Of course, everything depends on how this hurricane actually behaves during the next 24-36 hours so stay tuned for the latest Norbert news!

Wich board should I bring.

go with the "i got it!" yellow....

really dint expect Norbert to track so well.....looks delicious!

might be OC-bound for the "quick" strike.

I hope you score KILLER SURF! Norbert in detail!

There are three key ingredients that can make or break a tropical swell: the size of the swell, the movement or track of the storm, and the strength of the storm. Lets break down all three for Norbert:

SIZE: Ok, but not great. Gale force winds extend out roughly 250 miles in the eastern quadrants of the storm. While that is certainly more than your garden variety East Pacific hurricane, it's certainly less than past monsters like Guillermo that occurred during the El Nino fueled summer of 1997, which had gale force winds extending out more than 400 miles from the center!

MOVEMENT/TRACK: Excellent! Norbert is expected to take an ideal NNW to N track in the next 24-36 hours, moving toward Southern California and Central Baja. Furthermore, Norbert is forecast to move slowly (below 10 knots), allowing a more developed fetch to be born. The below image, from Surfline's HurricaneTrak displays Norbert's forecasted track. The red line extending down the Baja Peninsula represents the SoCal swell window; everything west of that line is good times, while east of that line and we get shut out. Keep your fingers crossed that this track comes true...

STORM STRENGTH: Excellent! Norbert currently has sustained wind of 115 knots and gusts to 140 knots, making him a Category 4 storm. It looks like he'll maintain this strength through Thursday morning and then gradually weaken into Friday morning. By Friday afternoon and beyond a more pronounced weakening will likely occur.

THE NOT SO GOOD: So we certainly have many positive variables lining up for Norbert to produce a solid SE swell for exposed spots of Southern California this weekend, if he behaves as forecast in the next 24-36 hours. Unfortunately, there is at least one thing we also must take into consideration, that is not so good. The swell from Norbert will encounter a good deal of opposing NW windswell, from the forecasted 25-35 knot+ N/NW wind in the outer waters during the second half of the work week (see chart below). This can really knock down the shorter to mid period swells hurricanes produce, and can be the difference between double overhead surf and just overhead surf in this particular instance, dependent on Norbert's actual track. So lets keep a close eye on that too!

Ok, so let's assume all the positive variables of Norbert behave as forecast; what are we looking at then? Solid SE swell (160-165) from Norbert will move in through the day on Saturday, before easing on Sunday. Notice that swell angle, 1-6-0 degrees, which is actually 'east' of due south. That's going to present some serious problems for many spots in Southern California, with the vast majority of that swell passing right by, thanks to the extreme approach angle. Have a look at the chart below, which shows an incoming 160 degree swell at a period of 12 seconds, which should be roughly the peak period of Norbert's swell, and the regions that will pick up the majority of that swell.

First, lets break down the hot spots on this potential swell. North Orange County will pick up the greatest amount of surf, with select spots in Southern Ventura also getting a good dose of size. There will be a few other select nooks and crannies throughout SoCal, which shall remain nameless, also getting in on a some Norbert action.

Now lets look at the spots that will receive limited to no swell from Norbert: the South Bay, most of San Diego County and even a good deal of South Orange County will see just a fraction of Norbert's swell. And how about the Malibu region, the epicenter of summer time southerly swells? Sorry, San Clemente and Catalina Islands really get in the way of these 'southeast' swells, blocking most of the size from reaching shore. It's best to explore elsewhere for more sizeable waves.

One last thing before we sign off: conditions on Saturday look fairly dicey with rather breezy NW wind developing. While a few of the more northern spots may see clean conditions early, the onshore wind looks to hack things up pretty good by the afternoon. By Sunday morning it looks like much more favorable wind sets up with good potential for offshore flow in the morning, before turning onshore in the afternoon. It also looks like we could see some residual NW windswell in the water on Sunday, which could help break up those southerly lines from Norbert. Beachbreaks could be quite good with bowled up and hollow peaks with the morning offshore flow. Again, we need several things to fall in place as forecast in the next day and a half or so, but it's looking very promising at this point! Have fun and good luck out there this weekend and beyond.

We are just about to leave. Weather, in Carlsbad is great, this morning. Surf forcast has been downgraded a bit, but as long as its overhead, I will be The conditions are looking much better.

TROPICS: Norbert is now a Category two Hurricane spinning roughly 265 miles WSW of the Bja tip. Norbert is moving to the north now, right on the edge of Baja Norte's swell window, and he's due to turn NE tonight then run into southern Baja Sur Saturday afternoon. From there he cuts across the peninsula and the Califonia Gulf then moves into northcentral Mainland Mexico on Sunday.

Under that scenario, we’ll see a building SE (160) swell through the day on Saturday and into Sunday. South facing areas see shoulder-head high plus waves build in on Saturday and hold into Sunday. Standouts go several feet plus overhead on sets then with even larger sets likely. Areas without that good south view will get a much smaller share of this steep angle swell to no waves at all. The SE swell steadily fades by next Monday.
