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.
Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Wednesday. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few chest-head high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
More freaking wind on tap for Wednesday…WNW-NW winds 10-20 knots for the morning…with some stronger near 25-30 knot gusts setting up by the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 3/9/2010
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.
Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Tuesday. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist-chest high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
A weak cold front moves through Monday night and helps set up some NW winds for Tuesday. Look for WNW-NW winds around 10-12 knots for the morning and then gusts hitting 15-25 knots by the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/8/2010
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.
Not expecting much surf on Monday…there will be a bit of local NW windswell and some inconsistent SW energy on tap for the morning but it looks like onshore winds will get a jump on things pretty early. There may be a very short window right around dawn but I wouldn’t spend much time/gas/hope on finding waves…basically I would only check it if you live a few blocks away. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
Winds will be semi-variable onshore for the morning...possibly as low as 5 knots but still mostly onshore. Look for the winds to increase out of the WNW-NW 10-15 knots by midmorning and then nearing the 20-knot range by late in the day. Basically a hacked up mess by the afternoon. Good times.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
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.
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.

Orange County Surf Forecast – Friday – Building windswell lumps
The Swell
New WNW-NW windswell and some minor SW swell (200-220) will filter through the exposed spots on Friday. Look for increase in size as the tide drops and the windswell increases later in the day.
Waves
Not much surf on tap for the morning thanks to a nearly 6’ high tide that peaks during the dawn patrol…expect a few weak, basically shorebreak, lines to sneak through early…but without much in the way of rideable shape. Look for the mix of windswell and SW energy to build surf in the knee-waist high range at the average spots as the tide drops. Standout breaks may see some bigger sets but will likely blow out before many slip through.
Winds
Mostly light and variable onshore winds and a bunch of areas with minor texture for the morning. Look for some moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-15+ knot range for the afternoon.
