Oceanside Gathering march 12

[surfhorn]

Are you going to run a competiton? If you do, and need judges, one of my clients (pro woman surfer) has judged WQS events, our first US KB comp in Santa Cruz and other contests. Plus her new husband is one of Santa Cruz's hottest standups.....and his dad was an ASP judge.

They both live in O-side now. Let me know.

It sounds like we will have good turnout this year. The sandbars should be shaping up nice by next weekend. Who's coming down from O.C ans L.A?

Hey Curtis Im not going to say anything every time I try and make a gathering something come's up, Are you going to tams in the morning sat ? 3/5

[C.P.Odom]

Steve,

That is the plan depending on the weather. Zeke and I will be checking out the Harbor as well this weekend. Keep in mind that Saturday the 19th is the Half Ironman Triathlon at the Harbor, this means a long walk in but very light crowds.

Current NOAA Wave-Watcher 3 Model surf forecast for:
Date: Sat., March. 12
Time: 04:00 PST
Location: San Clemente Basin buoy.

# swells present: 3
Combined deep water significant wave height: 4.9 ft (prev: 5.2 ft)

Swell #1:
-----------
Direction (from): WNW (285 degrees)
Deep H20 Sig Ht: 4.3 ft (prev: 4.6 feet)
Period: 13.2 sec
Avg breaker ht: 6.8 ft* (prev: 7.3 ft*)

Swell #2:
-----------
Direction (from): S (183 degrees)
Deep H20 Sig Ht: 1.3 ft
Period: 15.9 sec
Avg breaker ht: 2.5 ft*

Swell #3:
-----------
Direction (from): S (184 degrees)
Deep H20 Sig Ht: 1.6 ft
Period: 12.1 sec
Avg breaker ht: 2.4 ft*

* Average breaker height predicted for a hypothetical beach with a uniform sloping bottom that faces directly into the swell. Other beach alignments, shadowing by islands, etc. will result in smaller surf. The surf at N County breaks for a WNW swell seems to often be about 1/2 the size predicted for the SC Basin buoy.

For reference purposes (and to get an estimate of the appropriate scaling factor using the surf height you observe this coming Thursday morning) the WNW is predicted to peak Thursday (at 04:00 PST) with an average breaker height of 18.8' (although typically the predicted heights get a little smaller as the actual day approaches).

Oceanside Harbor was looking real good this weekend, The river outflow is decreasing rapidly with no rain in sight. This weeks swell should groom the new sandbars nicely.

Head high to maybe 1ft. overhead with very clean hollow conditions..

[C.P.Odom]

The plan is to meet at the south jetty (Harbor) with a tenative plan to go to Pizza Port in Carlsbad afterwards.

The Surf was Good this weekend @ the Jetty's, A foot overhead or so, Lefts were so clean and hollow Akio, Eric S & I were catching A- frames lefts on south side that were going off in front the jetty all the way middles, even bitter Ed was stoked Put it this way @ High tide I was only thigh deep @ the end of the jetty, now that's a sand Bar
