Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 1/28/2010

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 www.socalsurf.com.

While the bigger WNW-NW swell is backing off we are going to see a little more energy out of the S-SSW on Thursday. This combo mix usually does pretty well for Orange County, particularly the well exposed beach breaks…one sucky thing is the high tide that hits early in the morning…it is really going to slow us down for the first few hours after sunrise. Fortunately the winds will be light enough that we can wait out while it drops.

Once the tide has evened out a bit I am expecting surf to be in the knee-waist high+ range for most spots…while the best WNW spots and the good combo breaks see chest-shoulder high sets. There may even be a rare bigger wave still sneaking around but expect them to be pretty inconsistent.

Light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning. Light winds, variable below 10-knots, will be on tap through midafternoon and then may back down a bit around sundown.

Here are the tides…
