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.
Here are the tides…
