Orange County Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – The windswell continues

The Swell
WNW-NW windswell will peak into early Saturday, fade slightly through midday and then increase again in the afternoon. Look for the windswell (and a small SW swell) to fade through the day on Sunday.





Waves
Saturday looks pretty ugh…high tide and building onshore winds will keep things from ever getting very surfable…though there may be a couple of random surf pockets if you have a spot that can handle the mix of tide/windswell. Most breaks will be in the knee-waist high range while the standout NW windswell spots see some waist-chest high sets.

Sunday looks cleaner but the tide will continue to be an issue…more knee-waist high waves on tap for the morning…with a few chest high sets sneaking in as the tide drops. Look for smaller, less consistent, surf by the afternoon.

Winds
Saturday will see variable onshore flow for the morning…mostly below 10-knots but starting to get some texture on the water early (if it ever lets up from Friday night). Look for NW winds around 10-20 knots for the afternoon.

Light and variable to light offshore winds will be on tap Sunday morning. NW winds 10-15+ knots move in through the afternoon.
