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.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010
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.
The WNW-NW swell will be on the way down on Thursday while a small SW pulse fills in through the background. Even though the surf will be smaller than mid-week it looks like we will still have plenty of waves.
Average winter spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will have some shoulder-overhead surf with some inconsistent bigger sets sneaking through on the lower tides. Best shape will be at points/reefs but a few of the more NW shadowed/SW-exposed beaches may have a bit more of a combo feel to them, which could be fun if the other factors don’t screw it up.
Winds will be NW around 8-12 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.
