Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/19/2010

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 energy backs down on Friday but the S-SW swell holds steady…and even turns a touch more southerly which means more spots will be able to pull in some of the energy.

Look for the average spots to see surf in the knee-waist high+ range. Standout WNW/S-SW combo spots will be more in the waist-chest high range with a few bigger shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the best NW and SW spots on both ends of the county.

Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds here and there. Look for variable onshore winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon.

Here are the tides…

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 3/18/2010

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 combo swell of WNW-NW swell and S-SW swell will continue on Thursday…with the NPAC swell backing off slightly, while the S-SW swell gets a touch bigger.

Average spots are going to hold around knee-waist high with some inconsistent chest high waves on the lower tides. Standout NW facing breaks and excellent NW/S-SW combo spots will have more chest-shoulder high waves with some rare bigger sets mixing it up.

Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds in a few spots. These winds will hold through mid-morning but then turn westerly around lunch and will eventually peak around 10-15+ knots by late afternoon. Look for cooler beach temps, with some overcast skies and possibly even some fog at times.

Here are the tides…
