WNW-NW swell (280-300) mostly holds on Tuesday while new WNW windswell fills in and the small SW swell fades out.
Average spots will be in the waist high range through the morning. The standout NW facing breaks will have some waist-chest high surf with some inconsistent shoulder high waves mixing it up at times.
Shapewise the onshore wind is going to be the biggest problem…but the high mid-morning tide isn’t going to do us any favors either. Look for cleanest conditions early in the morning…and then bumpy, choppy, shape from mid-morning on. W winds are supposed to get an early jump on things…starting off around 5- 10 knots for the morning and then quickly building into the 12-15 knot range by the afternoon. Patchy fog and cooler air temps will also be on tap throughout the day.

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 WNW-NW swell (285-300) will be arriving on Monday…mixing with a smaller but slowly building SW swell, and some increasing local windswell. Conditions will be clean for the morning but the high-tide swamp-thing will screw with the surf shape as it peaks around 9-10am.
Average spots will be in the knee-waist high range on Monday. The standout NW facing breaks and the excellent NW/SW combo spots will have some waist-chest high surf with some inconsistent shoulder high waves mixing it up at times.
Look for light winds…mostly variable below 5 knots for the morning. NW winds do start to fill in fairly early…picking up around lunchtime and we can expect them to top out around 13-15+ knots by the afternoon. Chance for some fog through the morning as well.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/27-3/28/2010
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.
Our mix of swells…the SW (195-215), the WNW-NW swell (280-300), and the local windswell will all be on the way down on Saturday and will continue to drop through Sunday. Conditions look great for the weekend…but the tides a bit fat in the morning…so we might end up in race between the dropping swell and the dropping tide.
On Saturday look for most spots to be in the waist high range with a few chest high sets sneaking into the better combo spots once the tide drops. The standout NW/SW breaks and the best combo spots will see some chest-shoulder high sets on the lower tides…but expect some long waits between the sets. By Sunday the surf will be in the knee high range for most of the average spots and just some very inconsistent waist-chest high sets at the standouts.
Nice beach weather this weekend…winds will be light and variable to light offshore for the morning on both Saturday and Sunday…the winds will stay light through the afternoons as well…just going variable onshore but staying around 10-12 knots for most areas.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/26/2010
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.
Friday will start off with slowly fading SW swell (195-215), some semi-shadowed NW energy, and a bit of local windswell. A new WNW-NW swell (280-300) and more windswell will fill in throughout the day helping to drive up wave heights at the winter spots as we head toward the afternoon.
Look for most spots to see surf in the waist-chest high range…a little inconsistent on the sets because most of the surf will be coming from the SW’er but still rideable when the waves do show. The standout NW facing spots, and the excellent South County SW spots, will have some chest-shoulder high surf a bit more consistently…and the top NW spots will see some head high sets by the afternoon as the new swell fills in a bit more. Shape will be a bit soft/swampy in the morning thanks to the early high-tide…so stick to the high-tide friendly spots if you can.
Winds start off on the light side early…mostly variable out of the North, which blows offshore for some spots and side-shore for others, with wind speeds generally below 10-knots. The wind switches around through the afternoon, eventually blowing out of the W around 12-15+ knots.

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.
The SW swell (195-215) slowly fades on Thursday while a new mix of NW swell (290-300) and NW windswell build in throughout the day. Unfortunately it looks like onshore winds will start up pretty early…so expect some bumpy shape for the morning and some choppy nastiness by the afternoon.
The average breaks will be around waist high on Thursday…with a few chest high sets showing on the lower tide. The standout SW facing breaks and best combo spots will have shoulder-head high sets…maybe a touch bigger on the afternoon tide push as the windswell and NW energy pulse up.
W winds are expected to pick up early…likely coming onshore around 5-8 knots for the morning but building steadily into the 15-20 knot range by the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/20-3/21/2010
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.
The WNW-NW energy will drop off a bit more on Saturday but won’t completely disappear…the S-SW swell (180-200) will hold pretty steady, losing just a bit of size/consistency but still sending in some fun surf to the well exposed spots.
On Saturday the average breaks will continue to hold around knee-waist high with some inconsistent chest high sets showing at a few of the better combo spots. The standout S facing breaks and the best combo beaches will have surf in the waist-shoulder high range…with some inconsistent bigger sets that will sneak through on the good tides.
Sunday the S-SW swell will back down a bit more but a new WNW-NW swell (285-300) will fill in the background. Most spots will continue to see surf in the knee-waist high range…but the chest high sets will be less consistent as the Southern Hemi fades out. The standout S/NW combo spots will have surf in the waist-chest high range…but we can expect a few shoulder high+ sets mixing in on the lower tides.
Both days look pretty clean during the mornings. Expect light and variable winds for most spots and a few areas with some very light offshore flow. It looks like we will be fighting a bit of a marine layer…maybe even some patchy fog…so don’t be surprised if visibility isn’t always that good. The winds should stay on the light side through the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday…but expect the sea-breeze to develop enough to driving some variable 10-12 knot onshore flow into the more exposed spots.

The WNW-NW energy backs down on Friday but the S-SW swell holds steady…and even turns a touch more southerly which means more spots will be able to pull in some of the energy.
Look for the average spots to see surf in the knee-waist high+ range. Standout WNW/S-SW combo spots will be more in the waist-chest high range with a few bigger shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the best NW and SW spots on both ends of the county.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds here and there. Look for variable onshore winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon.

The combo swell of WNW-NW swell and S-SW swell will continue on Thursday…with the NPAC swell backing off slightly, while the S-SW swell gets a touch bigger.
Average spots are going to hold around knee-waist high with some inconsistent chest high waves on the lower tides. Standout NW facing breaks and excellent NW/S-SW combo spots will have more chest-shoulder high waves with some rare bigger sets mixing it up.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds in a few spots.

The swell-direction on the new WNW-NW swell is a bit too steep for most of Orange County…but it does have some longer-periods, which will help to wrap in some of the energy into the top NW spots (mostly in North County).
Most of the county is going to have to squeeze its surf out of the fringe energy of the WNW-NW swell and the smaller, but much better aimed, S-SW swell. Average spots are going to hold around knee-waist high with some inconsistent chest high waves on the lower tides. Standout NW facing breaks and excellent NW/S-SW combo spots will have more chest-shoulder high waves with some rare bigger sets mixing it up.
Winds and weather look pretty nice again on Wednesday. Mostly sunny skies with some light/variable to light offshore winds on tap for the morning. Variable onshore winds around the 10-14 knot range will develop through the afternoon.

Saturday look for mostly small, tide swamped, surf in the morning. Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some rare chest high sets at the standouts. W-NW winds will get a jump on things pretty early so expect sloppier conditions moving in by midmorning and just getting worse as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday conditions clean up, though we will still have some tide issues in the morning. We will also see some new WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the new windswell and a slightly better pulse of S-SW swell. Wave heights will build into the waist-high+ range for most of the exposed spots and chest-shoulder high sets at the standouts. Winds will start off light offshore and then shift variable onshore around 10-13 knots for the afternoon.

Just some NW windswell leftovers, background WNW-NW swell, and some inconsistent S-SW swell, on tap for Friday. Look for nearly flat conditions for the morning as we shuffle through the high AM tide.
Once the tide drops most spots will be in the knee high range off of this mix…but a few of the better NW facing breaks will have some waist-chest high sets. The best S facing spots will average around knee-waist high but there will be some inconsistent chest high sets sneaking into those breaks as well.
Look for NE winds around 5-10 knots for the morning with the potential for some 10-15 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the NW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.

Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Wednesday. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few chest-head high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/8/2010
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.
Not expecting much surf on Monday…there will be a bit of local NW windswell and some inconsistent SW energy on tap for the morning but it looks like onshore winds will get a jump on things pretty early. There may be a very short window right around dawn but I wouldn’t spend much time/gas/hope on finding waves…basically I would only check it if you live a few blocks away. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
Winds will be semi-variable onshore for the morning...possibly as low as 5 knots but still mostly onshore. Look for the winds to increase out of the WNW-NW 10-15 knots by midmorning and then nearing the 20-knot range by late in the day. Basically a hacked up mess by the afternoon. Good times.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
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.
On Saturday look for a mix of leftover WNW-NW swell, some new steep NW swell (295-300), and some SSW-SW energy (190-220). Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range while the standout combo breaks through the southern part of the county, where the SW energy shows best, will have some chest- high sets sneaking into the really exposed spots. Winds will be light through the morning but build out of the SW around 10-20 knots for late in the afternoon and bring in more rain for the evening.
Sunday the storm will still be lingering and it looks like winds will stay onshore for most of the morning. Expect about the same size as Saturday but with a little bit more W-NW windswell creeping into the well exposed spots. Expect variable onshore winds, mostly out of the S-SW, for early Sunday and then building NW winds 15-20+ knots for late in the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010
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.
The WNW-NW swell will be on the way down on Thursday while a small SW pulse fills in through the background. Even though the surf will be smaller than mid-week it looks like we will still have plenty of waves.
Average winter spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will have some shoulder-overhead surf with some inconsistent bigger sets sneaking through on the lower tides. Best shape will be at points/reefs but a few of the more NW shadowed/SW-exposed beaches may have a bit more of a combo feel to them, which could be fun if the other factors don’t screw it up.
Winds will be NW around 8-12 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.
