Fall's Golden Hour in the Golden State
OK, we'll come right out and say it: October is arguably the best month to be a surfer in Southern California. For all kinds of reasons. We cornered veteran surf forecaster Chris Borg, who's been forecasting falls in SoCal for a couple decades, and here's what he told us:
Most of the Earth is covered by ocean. And in October, most of that ocean has potential for swell production. In the North Pacific and North Atlantic, the high pressure systems that suppressed cyclonic formation all summer are now retreating southward as strengthening storms sweep down from the north. On the Pacific side, those lows have already served up a few early-season NW groundswells for Hawaii through the West Coast -- and they're bound to crank out bigger/better waves between now and Halloween.
