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.
Here are the tides…

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 1/27/10

The WNW-NW swell will back down slowly on Wednesday while some small S-SSW swell starts to pulse in through the background. Overall it won’t be that great through the morning thanks to the high tide that pushes through early…that will keep things pretty soft and even the standout WNW spots have had a lot of the sand chewed up on the outside so it could be pretty shorebreaky as the tide peaks.
Once the tide evens out we can expect waist-chest high waves at the average W facing breaks, and the ok combo spots. The standout WNW-NW spots, mostly through North County, will have some chest-head high surf…and maybe a few more makeable corners as we start to see a little more swell combo.
Light and variable winds on tap for the morning with a little bit of onshore bump here and there. Look for building W-NW winds around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.
