Orange County Surf Forecast - For Thursday - 1/21/10

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.

More storm and more swell continue to pummel us on Thursday. W-WNW swell and junky stormswell will hit exposed areas pretty hard…continuing to push in large sloppy surf and poor conditions. Look for consistent overhead surf at the W facing spots with a few sets going a couple of feet+ overhead at times. The winter standouts, mostly through the HB Cliffs and the surrounding areas, will see consistent well-overhead surf with sets going double to almost triple-overhead and possibly bigger on and off throughout the day. Shape will be super trashed thanks to steady S winds and just the junky nature of the stormswell.

S winds around 15-25 knots will be on tap for the morning. Building S winds continue through the afternoon eventually topping out around 30-35+ knots late in the day. More rain and a chance for thunderstorms will likely be the case. If that wasn’t enough…Severe weather warnings, flash flood warnings, and all sorts of fun stuff will likely continue to be in effect throughout the day

Here are the tides…
