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.

Here are the tides…
