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 W swell builds in on Saturday...eventually peaking Saturday afternoon and overnight into Sunday. Looks like mostly sloppy conditions for the weekend but there may be a little bit of a surf window early on Saturday morning.
Look for most spots to start off with some new chest-shoulder high+ surf as the swell fills in through the morning…the winter standouts will be a little bigger. As the swell peaks we can expect most spots to see surf in the chest-head high range with some overhead sets at times. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, can expect surf in the shoulder-overhead range with sets going a few feet overhead at times.
Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have light onshore S winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.
