Orange County Surf Forecast - waves for the Weekend - 1/23-1/24/2010

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.

Saturday will have some lump out in the water but it looks like winds may not be that bad for the morning…it will sort of be a toss-up weather the lighter/slightly offshore winds in the morning will be enough to groom out some of the stormy-swell bump. Look for consistent shoulder-overhead surf for most of the exposed W facing beaches…with smaller surf through the middle-south half of the county. The top WNW-WN spots in North County will have some consistent overhead-overhead+ sets…with a few bigger waves going a few feet overhead at times through the morning. Winds will be light through the morning but pick up onshore steadily through the middle of the day.

Sunday looks both cleaner and smaller…lots of W facing spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets at times. The standout WNW-NW facing spots, again through North County, will be in the shoulder-overhead range…and I still wouldn’t be surprised to see an overhead+ set now and then. Look for light offshore winds through the morning and mostly light/variable onshore for the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
