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.

Here are the tides…

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.
