Don’t forget that Sunday I’m leading a Whale Watching Hike out at Point Reyes National Seashore. Join us for a beautiful day of hiking along the coast!
Summary:
Get ready for a weekend of record warm temperatures from Tahoe to the Coast. Sunny skies will prevail around the region bringing highs up to near 70 on Sunday. Tahoe will see sunshine and highs in the 50’s, so if you head up the hill, it could be the perfect time to ski in a t-shirt. Surf around the region is pumping too as a new swell just arrived from the W and will remain large all weekend.
Around Tahoe:
The great wait for snow continues. In the meantime, why not just enjoy what we have and embrace it? This weekend will feel like spring with highs in the 50’s under sunny skies. Hit the hill with a t-shirt and sunscreen, grab a cold beverage at lunch and soak up some rays. Isn’t this one of the reasons that California is so awesome? No seasonal affective disorder around here. If you’re not feeling like skiing, this would be an ideal weekend to get out on a road or mountain bike up in the Sierra. Snow cover is sparse below 8000ft and trails that would typically be under feet of snow are wide open.
For more Tahoe snow details, check out the Tahoe Daily Snow and follow Tahoe Weather on Facebook.
Backcountry Conditions from the Sierra Avalanche Center:
LOW avy danger dominates the backcountry. Warming during the day may cause some wet snow instabilities on E-S-W aspects. Watch for obstacles poking through the thin snowpack if you do head out. Check the full report for observations and details.
Hike and Bike Conditions Around the Bay:
Get outside and enjoy the near record warmth this weekend. Yes, the weather shouldn’t be like this, but we might as well make the most of it. Throughout the weekend expect highs in the upper 60’s to near 70 on Sunday, which will be our warmest day. Some high clouds may stream into the region from time to time, but don’t expect any rain.
Surf Around the Region:
The surf really picked up in the past 24 hours with a long period, large W swell arriving. Earlier in the week this swell produced massive surf in Hawai’i and now it’s our turn. Big wave magnets around the area will be exciting to watch, but take caution if getting in the water. Smaller breaks like the south side of Lindamar in Pacifica and Bolinas in Marin might be the only user friendly surf destinations this weekend.
