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.

Here are the tides…
