Frosty mornings here in Santa Cruz. |
Word around town is that the bike trails are riding epically. Rains in the previous month has settled all the dust and provided a tacky surface to rail turns on. And the summer crowds are gone. Wilder is like a ghost town, with miles of trails to ones self. Even the weekends are coming back with reports of uncrowded conditions. If you prefer to be in the ocean, the swell coming for this weekend is in the water. The storm did not hold together quite as well as hoped, but we should still be expecting a moderate long period swell to arrive sometime Friday. It will start off small, but build quickly by Saturday morning. Plan for some ten foot surf at the better exposed NW breaks through the weekend. And some great conditions all day Saturday and through the morning Sunday.
Surf should improve along West Cliff Drive this coming weekend. John Street sunset dribbles. |
Still no big weather changers in the forecast. In fact, major indicators suggest more of the same. Sure, there is an outside chance of energy approaching the coast. Even a chance of splitting. But that means, even in the best scenarios, we see a 50/50 chance of sporadic and light precipitation. So, outside of an outside chance. And no major trough is expected for the west coast, well into mid month. So another week plus of clear, dry and beautiful weather. And as much as I love this time of year, I do pray for a little snow before the holidays. If not for my benefit, then for the tax base. For now, nighttime lows 36-42F and daytime highs 55-61F. That is all.
