Orange County Surf Forecast – Friday – On the way down…but still fun

The Swell
The mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with more energy in the 290-300 range) and some weak SW swell (200-220) will back down on Friday. Look for the biggest, most consistent surf through the morning and further shrinkage by the afternoon.



Waves
Look for smaller but still fun/rideable surf on Friday. The average exposed spots will be in the waist high range…maybe even a few chest high sets through the morning. Standout NW exposed spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range…with a few North County plus sets early in the morning. Looks like shape will continue to be a little wally at the beach breaks so the best shape will be at spots that have something to break up the swell a little bit better.

Winds
Look for light and variable winds through the morning…even a few pockets of light E-ESE-SE offshore winds in some areas. Increasing clouds and light/moderate NW winds 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon. Chance for some light showers later in the night.
