Orange County Surf Forecast - For Friday - 1/08/10
Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
New swell will be showing some waves in the morning, nothing huge, but coming up a bit from what we had on Thursday. Look for the average spots to run in the waist-chest high range while the standout North OC winter breaks (the WNW facing spots) will be in the shoulder high+ range through the dawn patrol.
By the afternoon the swell will have filled in a bit more and all of our W-WNW facing breaks will be in the rise for both size and consistency. Average spots will bump into the chest-shoulder high+ range while the winter standouts see some consistent shoulder-head high surf with overhead sets mixing in at times.
Winds look good…mostly light offshore for the morning and then light/variable to light onshore for the afternoon. Chance for some patchy fog too but most of it will likely hold off the coast until the winds start to shift around in the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

Orange County Surf Forecast - For Thursday - 1/07/10
Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
Mostly weak lines on tap for OC Thursday morning. Look for ankle-knee high surf at most breaks and a few waist –waist high+ sets at the best WNW standouts and excellent combo spots.
The swell does eventually filter in (after passing through about a million islands, seas of sharks with laserbeams on theirs heads and flaming ring of fire somewhere out there as well, which means it isn’t going to be all “that” when it first starts coming in. Look for the winter spots to start to see some more consistent waist-chest high waves with a few of the standouts seeing some chest-shoulder high sets.
Winds look good…mostly light offshore for the morning and just a light/variable onshore pushing through in the afternoon. Good chance for those winds to lay down as the sun sets.
