Orange County Surf Forecast - for Monday - 1/25/10

Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

Monday looks fun…you know if you don’t mind surfing in water that looks like a bad case of the #3’s…the W-WNW swell will have lost a lot of size but it will probably make the beach breaks a bit more appealing, which in turn will let everyone spread out a little bit.

Most W facing breaks will be in the chest-shoulder high range…while the standout WNW-NW facing breaks through North County see chest-head high surf and a few overhead waves still mixing in. Expect slightly swampy conditions through the dawn patrol thanks to an early morning tide…but winds should hold off long enough to let the tide drop a little bit.

Winds look good for the morning but switch onshore out of the W-WNW around 10-15+ knots for the afternoon. Expect increasing cloudiness throughout the day…with a chance at some more rain/showers moving in on Tuesday.

Here are the tides…
