So much for that sunny weekend.

Saturday forecast is still on.  Upper 60s.  Sun.  Wind.  Not as much as we have been having though.  Fog is still on for Sunday.  Actually could be a little thick in the morning.  Low hanging.  The kind of fog that kind of feels like it is lightly raining on you.  Oh yes.  Still looking to clear out.  The storm system coming down the coast is looking to break through a little further south on this morning's run.  Light rain in Marin for Memorial Day, spreading south to here by evening.  Still just a small chance, but it will bring with it some cooler air.  Instead of 70s and mostly sun, it looks like low 60s and mostly clouds for the holiday.  Bummer.  While we see only a small dip in temperature, up in the Sierra it is going to feel cold, with high temperatures in the 50s and maybe just the 40s at the higher elevations.  There is a little good news in all of this if you happen to be a surfer.

Just a few folks floating around the point.  Near 38th Avenue, Santa Cruz.

Starting today we see a nice combo swell with a small west-northwest and a small southwest swell adding up to maybe some fun sized waves at the right spots.  The NW flow should be a bit lighter on Saturday, allowing the crowds to spread out a bit.  The real good news is that Monday we should see mostly light winds.  So even though the swell will be baking off by then, a lot of beach break will be relatively clean.  With the hordes that usually descend on Santa Cruz for the opening of the summer season, it will be nice to spread out a bit.  As for that rain, I'll keep an eye out and report back here soon.
