San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/12/2010

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 day will start off a bit slow with mostly leftover WNW energy doing most of the work…there will be a couple of new swells, a larger W-NW and a background SW swell, that will be filling in with some long-period energy throughout the day…showing bigger surf by late in the afternoon…and much larger surf on Saturday and Sunday.

North County breaks can expect surf in the knee-waist high range…with a few waist-chest high sets at the standout spots. High tide continues to hamper shape through the morning but there might be a few more workable waves showing at the really shallow sandbars.

South County breaks will see surf in the waist-chest high range with some chest-shoulder high waves at the better breaks.

Expect the surf to build slowly throughout the day as both the SW and W-NW swells fill in…unfortunately it doesn’t look like a ton of new size will be able to push through before dark. Likely the spots that like really long-period swells will have a few head high+ sets showing before sundown.

Winds look good…mostly light and variable early and then just variable winds around 10-15 knots on tap for the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
