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.
Here are the tides…
