Welcome to June in Santa Cruz

A little grey out there, is it?  That is just summer.  Start to love it, cause it is going to stick around.  That heat the interior had over the weekend?  Well, that really gets the fog machine chugging.  And chugging it is.  Full grey out there this morning.  Things are starting to break apart just a bit at 1:30 in the afternoon.  More of the same tomorrow.  KInd of.  And the day after that, and the day after that.  But let's look at a bit more detail.  Southerly flow continues today and what sun does peak through will me minimal as there is not a whole bunch of wind to blow out the fog.  Upper 60s, with perhaps a few good spots in town getting up to about 70F.  Fog returns late this afternoon and will hang thick by Tuesday morning.

Large south swells hitting the Santa Cruz coastline.  

The high pressure will start moving back over our region, with the gradient setting up through the week.  So, pretty much we are looking at foggy mornings with sun breaking out around noon time.  Could be a bit earlier on some days.  Like Tuesday.  A bit later on others.  Morning lows down around 52F and the afternoon high up around 72F.  Not really a whole lot going on weather wise through the week.  I'll let you know if anything changes.  A little shift in the local high pressure can bring us heat or fog, depending on which way it goes.  For now, we look like we are back in between.  Keep in mind that means afternoon north west breezes.  They don't look super strong, but the exposed beaches will be up stronger than 15 knots at times.  Maybe stronger around the points.

If we are talking coastal, why not talk surf?  Such a solid swell this past weekend.  Hope you got some, as thing take a turn down.  Today could still be fun with chest high waves at select spots.  After that it looks like small south swell and small wind swell are up for tap.  Hey, it is something.  It could actually be flat.  But it may be time to start getting the bike legs back in shape.  Hell, the surf has been so good, I've only been on the bike one day in 2013.

Fog in the mornings.  Warm, sunny and breezy afternoons.  Until we see some weather.
