WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with most of the energy around 290-300) will peak on Thursday as it mixes with some background SW swell (200-220). Due to the steeper swell angle this swell will show most of its energy at the winter spots in North County…but expect a (smaller) increase in surf across the county.
Waves
New swell moves in and helps to increase wave heights in most spots…average breaks are going to hold around waist-chest high…with some occasionally bigger sets at the better NW facing and combo breaks. Top NW facing spots will have surf in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets…possibly even a rare bigger one on the lower tide.
Winds
Look for light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning, some patchy fog in spots as well. Variable…mostly onshore…flow builds in through the afternoon but stays around 5-10 knots.
