New W swell builds in on Saturday...eventually peaking Saturday afternoon and overnight into Sunday. Looks like mostly sloppy conditions for the weekend but there may be a little bit of a surf window early on Saturday morning.
Look for most spots to start off with some new chest-shoulder high+ surf as the swell fills in through the morning…the winter standouts will be a little bigger. As the swell peaks we can expect most spots to see surf in the chest-head high range with some overhead sets at times. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, can expect surf in the shoulder-overhead range with sets going a few feet overhead at times.
Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have light onshore S winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.

Mostly weak waves on Friday morning…average spots holding around ankle-knee high with a few waist high sets sneaking into the top spots. The standout SW breaks, mostly through South County, will be more consistently in the knee-waist high range with some chest high sets sneaking through at times.
Winds will be S-SE around 8-12 knots for the morning and it looks like scattered showers moving in as we move throughout the day. Look for SW wind around 10-20 knots by the afternoon and periods of heavy rain.

Leftover WNW-NW swell and small SW energy will continue to send in some rideable/playful surf on Thursday. It won’t be all that speedy/punchy even on the good sandbars/shallow reefs…there just isn’t much energy left in the swell mix…but we can still expect a few fun sections at the better combo breaks. Look for surf in the knee-waist high range for most of the average OC spots. Standout NW breaks and the excellent combo spots will see a few waist-chest high+ sets sneaking through on the lower tides.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light offshore for the morning. NW winds around 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon.

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 mix of W-NW swell and weaker background SW swell will back down on Tuesday but there will still be plenty of fun waves at the well exposed spots. Most of the county is going to average around chest-shoulder high on the sets…but the better exposed combo spots will see some occasionally bigger sets on the lower tides. The standout WNW-NW facing breaks, mostly throughout North County, will be more in the shoulder-head high range with some overhead sets still pushing through in the morning. The surf looks fun through the morning tide push but may slow down quite a bit as the tide fills in…you may want to plan around that tide peak.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/13-2/14/2010
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.
New W-NW swell (275-300) and some new SW swell (200-220) will peak over the weekend…showing biggest by Saturday afternoon and on into Sunday. OC isn’t all that exposed to the WNW-NW mix…sure there are a few spots, particularly at spots in North County, that will do ok…but generally we can expect smaller surf than what the other, more exposed regions will see. Fortunately the SW swell will show pretty well throughout the county…so we will see a bit more of a combo than the other areas…which should keep us out in the water for both days.
Wave heights will be in the chest-shoulder high range for the average areas…with a few inconsistent head high sets showing on the lower tides. The standout WNW-NW breaks and excellent combo spots will have surf more consistently in the shoulder-head high range with some overhead+ sets showing as the swells peak.
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Afternoon winds will turn onshore out of the WNW around 10-13 knots, but may stay manageable at the protected spots.

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.
New W-NW swell and a new background SW swell will be filling in on Friday…but don’t expect a ton of new surf through the morning. Most of the average breaks will be in the knee-waist high+ range for the morning…but a few of the South County standouts and the really good combo-swell sandbars at a few North County beaches will have some inconsistent chest high+ sets. As the tide drops and the swell fills in we can expect average spots to push up into the shoulder high range while the standout NW facing spots see some shoulder-head high+ sets.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable early and then just variable winds around 10-15 knots on tap for the afternoon.

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.
Fading WNW-NW swell will still put a few rideable waves into the well exposed spots on Thursday...it won’t be all that great, and we may have to wait out the morning tide, but there will be a few lines rolling through. Look for the average WNW facing spots to see surf in the knee-waist high range…the better WNW/SW combo spots (since there is a little SW energy out there) will be more consistently in the waist-waist high+ range. The top NW breaks, mostly through North County will have some chest-shoulder high sets on the lower tides.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light-offshore conditions early and then just variable winds on tap for the afternoon. If the winds can stay below 10 knots for most of the day there is a shot at some clean-up near sundown.
