Saturday starts of slow and breezy thanks to the new storm front pushing through the region and most leftover swell in the water through the early part of the day. Really it will probably be a better morning to surf the pillow for a little longer. Expect S-SW winds 10-15 knots with some 20 knot gusts and more rain/thunderstorms and other nonsense.
By Saturday afternoon a new W-NW swell (275-300) starts to arrive and come up fast…though conditions still look pretty crappy. It is a little hard to tell how much energy will make it into OC before sundown but I do expect the wave heights to build considerably compared to the morning. Likely it will be shoulder-head high for many NW facing spots and some overhead sets at the standouts.
Sunday the W-NW’er will peak and winds will back down shifting more to the WNW-NW and holding around 10-15 knots for the morning. The surf will be solid in the head high to overhead+ range for most of the average spots and sets going a few feet overhead and bigger at the WNW-NW facing standouts. The tide is still pretty high in the morning but there will be a lot of energy rolling around and it will have a good shot at breaking through the extra water. Even with the winds there should be enough waves and swell that the more protected breaks will work and will probably be cleaner since they don’t have as much exposure to the wind and chunkiness of the swell.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/26/2010
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.
Our mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will hold/slowly drop on Friday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for Orange County but the SW swell will show fairly well through the South half of the county. Right now it looks like the biggest surf will continue to show around North County…in particular around North HB…but there should be at least rideable, if not fun, surf on tap for the other areas.
Sizewise we can expect surf in the waist-shoulder high range for most exposed spots…standout WNW-NW facing breaks and the excellent combo spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range with a few overhead sets mixing it up on the lower tides.
Winds will be light and variable through the morning. Look for building S-SE winds to fill in around midday and then continuing to strengthen by the afternoon/evening. It looks like the heavy winds and rain will push in late after midnight and hold through Saturday.

Winds/Weather not looking great tomorrow but it does look like it might be semi-manageable in the morning. General forecasts are calling for light/variable to a variable/westerly onshore flow around 10-knots in the morning. Hopefully this means that we will see cleaner conditions around dawn and then slowly building WNW-NW winds for midday into the afternoon, but keep in mind that there might be some texture/bump showing at a few areas. Look for NW winds 10-15+ knots on tap by the afternoon.

Leftover WNW-NW swell (280-300) and weak SW swell will hold on Wednesday. The high tide will swamp us out early but there will be a few rideable waves at the spots that can handle a little extra water. Look for most of the county to be in the knee-waist high range. Standout WNW-NW facing breaks in North County and the excellent SW facing breaks in South County will be more in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent shoulder high sets on the lower tides. Look for a bit of increase in size and consistency late in the day but don’t count on conditions holding together.
Clean conditions on tap for the morning with mostly light offshore winds for the county and a few pockets of light and variable flow at the more protected spots. Look for SW-W winds around 10-15 knots by the afternoon. Increasing clouds and a chance for rain late in the day.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/20-2/21/2010
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.
New W swell builds in on Saturday...eventually peaking Saturday afternoon and overnight into Sunday. Looks like mostly sloppy conditions for the weekend but there may be a little bit of a surf window early on Saturday morning.
Look for most spots to start off with some new chest-shoulder high+ surf as the swell fills in through the morning…the winter standouts will be a little bigger. As the swell peaks we can expect most spots to see surf in the chest-head high range with some overhead sets at times. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, can expect surf in the shoulder-overhead range with sets going a few feet overhead at times.
Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have light onshore S winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.

Mostly weak waves on Friday morning…average spots holding around ankle-knee high with a few waist high sets sneaking into the top spots. The standout SW breaks, mostly through South County, will be more consistently in the knee-waist high range with some chest high sets sneaking through at times.
Winds will be S-SE around 8-12 knots for the morning and it looks like scattered showers moving in as we move throughout the day. Look for SW wind around 10-20 knots by the afternoon and periods of heavy rain.

Leftover WNW-NW swell and small SW energy will continue to send in some rideable/playful surf on Thursday. It won’t be all that speedy/punchy even on the good sandbars/shallow reefs…there just isn’t much energy left in the swell mix…but we can still expect a few fun sections at the better combo breaks. Look for surf in the knee-waist high range for most of the average OC spots. Standout NW breaks and the excellent combo spots will see a few waist-chest high+ sets sneaking through on the lower tides.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light offshore for the morning. NW winds around 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon.

The mix of W-NW swell and weaker background SW swell will back down on Tuesday but there will still be plenty of fun waves at the well exposed spots. Most of the county is going to average around chest-shoulder high on the sets…but the better exposed combo spots will see some occasionally bigger sets on the lower tides. The standout WNW-NW facing breaks, mostly throughout North County, will be more in the shoulder-head high range with some overhead sets still pushing through in the morning. The surf looks fun through the morning tide push but may slow down quite a bit as the tide fills in…you may want to plan around that tide peak.

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 W-NW swell (275-300) and some new SW swell (200-220) will peak over the weekend…showing biggest by Saturday afternoon and on into Sunday. OC isn’t all that exposed to the WNW-NW mix…sure there are a few spots, particularly at spots in North County, that will do ok…but generally we can expect smaller surf than what the other, more exposed regions will see. Fortunately the SW swell will show pretty well throughout the county…so we will see a bit more of a combo than the other areas…which should keep us out in the water for both days.
Wave heights will be in the chest-shoulder high range for the average areas…with a few inconsistent head high sets showing on the lower tides. The standout WNW-NW breaks and excellent combo spots will have surf more consistently in the shoulder-head high range with some overhead+ sets showing as the swells peak.
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Afternoon winds will turn onshore out of the WNW around 10-13 knots, but may stay manageable at the protected spots.

Fading WNW-NW swell will still put a few rideable waves into the well exposed spots on Thursday...it won’t be all that great, and we may have to wait out the morning tide, but there will be a few lines rolling through. Look for the average WNW facing spots to see surf in the knee-waist high range…the better WNW/SW combo spots (since there is a little SW energy out there) will be more consistently in the waist-waist high+ range. The top NW breaks, mostly through North County will have some chest-shoulder high sets on the lower tides.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light-offshore conditions early and then just variable winds on tap for the afternoon. If the winds can stay below 10 knots for most of the day there is a shot at some clean-up near sundown.

Our surf will start off still in the playful sizes thanks to a mix of W-NW energy still holding on from the weekend as well as a little reinforcing NW pulse that has pushed into the background. Most spots will see surf in the waist-chest high range tomorrow with some shoulder-head high+ sets showing at the top NW breaks through North County. Look for cleanest conditions early in the day and increasing WNW-NW winds on tap for the afternoon. Points and reefs will have the best shape…if we had any real ones in North County…but good sandbars and the various structures that can break up a swell will be ok fallback places to check.
Winds and weather don’t look that great on Wednesday. The winds, even though they switch around Tuesday night don’t look like they are going to be super helpful but the shouldn’t be actively bad either. There will be some semi-clean conditions early…but expect periods of rain and onshore texture to pulse through as the storm continues to move through the region. Look for light/variable to variable-onshore flow for the morning. NW winds 10-20 knots will develop through the afternoon.

There will be some semi-clean conditions early…but expect periods of rain and onshore texture to pulse through as the storm continues to move through the region. Look for light/variable to variable-onshore flow for the morning. NW winds 10-20 knots will develop through the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/9/2010
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 surf will start off still in the playful sizes thanks to a mix of W-NW energy still holding on from the weekend as well as a little reinforcing NW pulse that has pushed into the background. Most spots will see surf in the waist-chest high range tomorrow with some shoulder-head high+ sets showing at the top NW breaks through North County. Look for cleanest conditions early in the day and increasing WNW-NW winds on tap for the afternoon. Points and reefs will have the best shape…if we had any real ones in North County (maybe I should crash a big cargo ship into state beach)…but good sandbars and the various structures that can break up a swell will be ok fallback places to check.
Light and variable winds early in the morning but with building W-NW winds 10-20+ knots on tap by the afternoon as the next storm front moves through. Look for more rain through the end of the day as well.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/6-2/7/2010
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.
Surf on Saturday isn’t looking all that appealing. Current forecasts are showing pretty steady S winds and rain on tap for the morning and more through the afternoon. Overall wave-heights will be on the rise as more W-WNW storm/windswell moves in. Look for chest-shoulder high waves at the average exposed spots and some bigger head high+ waves showing by the end of the day.
Saturday winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Expect rain and possibly thunderstorms pushing throughout the day.
Sunday the WNW-NW swell and the W-WNW windswell are set to peak. Most exposed spots will be running shoulder-head high with bigger sets mixing in. Top NW facing breaks will be overhead+ and possibly a little bigger at the really exposed spots. Shape won’t be all that great thanks to steady WNW winds…
Sunday winds shift more to the WNW around 10-15 knots for the morning and gusts nearing 20-knots for the afternoon. Drier conditions overall but not much in the way of clean surf thanks to the new, lamer, wind direction.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/5/2010
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.
At this point OC isn’t looking that great for Friday…winds will be onshore for many spots thanks to new S winds brewing up in front of the approaching storm. The surf will be fairly small to start as well…mostly knee high with some inconsistent waist high sets for the average spots and only slightly bigger chest high sets at the standouts. New storm-swell W-NW energy begins to move in late in the day but won’t put much new surf on the beach until Saturday.
Winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Showers are expected to push south through the day.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/4/2010
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.
Fun but fading surf on tap for the exposed areas of Orange County on Thursday. Our WNW-NW swell (280-300) will be backing off but we will continue to see plenty of rideable energy showing through the morning. Average WNW spots will be in the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets. Standout North County NW breaks will be more in the chest-shoulder high range with some less consistent head high sets. Expect to see smaller and less consistent surf as the swell mix fades through the afternoon.
Winds look good with mostly light and variable to light offshore flow early on. W winds 10-15 knots will build onshore in the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/3/2010
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.
WNW-NW swell will fill in and peak on Wednesday while the leftover SSW swell drops off…most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with a few chest high sets sneaking in on the lower tides. The top NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will have chest-head high sets with a few bigger waves sneaking through on the lower tides.
Winds will be light NW-NNW for the morning…mostly below 5-8 knots. WNW winds build up to the 10-15 knot range for the afternoon. Cloudy skies and a little drizzle are on tap for most of the day.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/2/2010
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 surf will be on the smaller side for most of OC on Tuesday. The WNW-NW swell backs down a touch and the S-SSW swell backs off a bit as well. Look for knee-waist high waves for most WNW facing spots as well as the OK combo spots. The standout NW facing breaks and excellent combo spots will be more in the waist-chest high range with some rare shoulder high sets.
New WNW-NW swell starts to filter through the buoys later on Tuesday but doesn’t look like it will show much in the way of new surf before dark…but the afternoon sets might be a little more consistent.
Winds look good for the morning…mostly light and variable to light ESE. Winds shift more S-SW onshore around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Chance of light showers developing overnight into Wednesday.
