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.
Mix of fading WNW-NW swell and some background SW swell will be on tap for Tuesday. 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.
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 WNW-NW winds 10-14 knots for the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/10/2010
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…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.

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.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Monday - 2/1/2010
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 high tide slowdown hits again in the morning…with a small really early morning window opening up as the peak if the tide shifts back to 10am. The WNW-NW swell will be on the way down but the small S-SSW pulse will continue to sort of limp along in the background. Expect fairly small surf, for most areas (but not all) through the high tide peak, and then as the tide drops we will have some knee-waist high surf at the average spots and some chest-shoulder high+ surf showing at the top NW breaks and excellent combo spots.
Winds will be light ESE through the morning, and then light W around 10 knots for the afternoon…the bump doesn’t look too bad through the afternoon so we might see some cleanup through sundown if the wind behaves.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 1/28/2010
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.
While the bigger WNW-NW swell is backing off we are going to see a little more energy out of the S-SSW on Thursday. This combo mix usually does pretty well for Orange County, particularly the well exposed beach breaks…one sucky thing is the high tide that hits early in the morning…it is really going to slow us down for the first few hours after sunrise. Fortunately the winds will be light enough that we can wait out while it drops.
Once the tide has evened out a bit I am expecting surf to be in the knee-waist high+ range for most spots…while the best WNW spots and the good combo breaks see chest-shoulder high sets. There may even be a rare bigger wave still sneaking around but expect them to be pretty inconsistent.
Light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning. Light winds, variable below 10-knots, will be on tap through midafternoon and then may back down a bit around sundown.

Orange County Surf Forecast – Friday – On the way down…but still fun
The Swell
The mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with more energy in the 290-300 range) and some weak SW swell (200-220) will back down on Friday. Look for the biggest, most consistent surf through the morning and further shrinkage by the afternoon.
Waves
Look for smaller but still fun/rideable surf on Friday. The average exposed spots will be in the waist high range…maybe even a few chest high sets through the morning. Standout NW exposed spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range…with a few North County plus sets early in the morning. Looks like shape will continue to be a little wally at the beach breaks so the best shape will be at spots that have something to break up the swell a little bit better.
Winds
Look for light and variable winds through the morning…even a few pockets of light E-ESE-SE offshore winds in some areas. Increasing clouds and light/moderate NW winds 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon. Chance for some light showers later in the night.
