San Diego Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – More windswell…but with a little cleanup on Sunday

The Swell
WNW-NW windswell will peak into early Saturday, fade slightly through midday and then increase again in the afternoon. Look for the windswell (and a small SW swell) to fade through the day on Sunday.





Waves
Saturday looks pretty ugh…high tide and building onshore winds will keep things from ever getting very surfable…though there may be a couple of random surf pockets if you have a spot that can handle the mix of tide/windswell. Most breaks will be in the waist-chest high range (if they can power through the tide), while the standout NW windswell spots see some chest-shoulder high+ sets.

Sunday looks cleaner but the tide will continue to be an issue…more swampy waist-chest high waves on tap for the morning…with a few chest-shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the top spots as the tide drops. Look for smaller, less consistent, surf by the afternoon.

Winds
Mostly light and variable onshore winds and a bunch of areas with minor texture for the morning. Look for some moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-15+ knot range for the afternoon.
