Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/25/2010

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.

New mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will peak on Thursday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for Orange County but the SW swell will show fairly well through the South half of the county. Right now it looks like the biggest surf will continue to show around North County…in particular around North HB…but there should be at least rideable, if not fun, surf on tap for the other areas.

Sizewise we can expect surf in the waist-shoulder high range for most exposed spots…standout WNW-NW facing breaks and the excellent combo spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range with a few overhead sets mixing it up on the lower tides.

Winds/Weather not looking great tomorrow but it does look like it might be semi-manageable in the morning. General forecasts are calling for light/variable to a variable/westerly onshore flow around 10-knots in the morning. Hopefully this means that we will see cleaner conditions around dawn and then slowly building WNW-NW winds for midday into the afternoon, but keep in mind that there might be some texture/bump showing at a few areas. Look for NW winds 10-15+ knots on tap by the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
