More high-tide lameness on tap for Saturday morning but we will have a few spots (that can handle the tide) pulling in some new surf from the building WNW-NW swell. Expect those areas to have chest-shoulder high surf with some inconsistent head high sets mixing in. As the tide drops we can expect more of the average WNW facing spots to move into the chest-head high range and the standout winter spots in North County to see overhead surf, even a couple of feet overhead on the biggest sets.
Sunday will have similar sizes (and a similar big fat morning tide)…so expect a bit of a slowdown early in the morning but then improving size, shape, and consistency as the tide drops off.
Winds look a little tweaky on Saturday…sort of light/variable to light onshore for the morning with more texture showing at the really open beaches. WNW-NW winds come onshore around 10-15+ knots for the afternoon. Sunday looks cleaner with light offshore flow for the morning and mostly calm to variable onshore flow holding through most of the day.
Here are the tides…have a great weekend…

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 1/29/2010
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.
We get pretty swamped by the tide in the morning…look for very mushy/shorebreaky shape for pretty much everywhere (of course with a couple of exceptions at the few breaks that like the extra water). Once the tide drops we can expect surf in the knee-waist high+ range for most breaks exposed to the fading WNW-NW energy and the small S-SSW pulse that is hanging in the background.
New WNW-NW swell (280-300) starts filling in later in the day…possibly helping to increase size and consistency a touch at the best NW facing breaks as we head toward the end of the day. I am not expecting a ton of new surf before the sun sets, but it will be worth at least giving the top spots some sort of check if the winds seem light.
Light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning. WNW-NW winds around 10-15 knots expected for the afternoon…possibly lightening up around sundown.
Here are the tides…
