Orange County Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 1/27/10

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast http://www.socalsurf.com/.

The WNW-NW swell will back down slowly on Wednesday while some small S-SSW swell starts to pulse in through the background. Overall it won’t be that great through the morning thanks to the high tide that pushes through early…that will keep things pretty soft and even the standout WNW spots have had a lot of the sand chewed up on the outside so it could be pretty shorebreaky as the tide peaks.

Once the tide evens out we can expect waist-chest high waves at the average W facing breaks, and the ok combo spots. The standout WNW-NW spots, mostly through North County, will have some chest-head high surf…and maybe a few more makeable corners as we start to see a little more swell combo.

Light and variable winds on tap for the morning with a little bit of onshore bump here and there. Look for building W-NW winds around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
