San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/6-2/7/2010

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-WNW wind/storm swell will be filling in on Saturday…starting off with some decent shoulder-head high surf at the top breaks in the morning and then building to a couple of feet overhead by the end of the day. Late in the afternoon/evening we will have a new WNW-NW swell (280-300) start to show…this will build overnight into Sunday. With the winds out of the S-SE for the morning I expect a handful of spots to be ok shapewise, water quality will be crap, but the surf will be at least rideable. …really it will end up being a race between how much the swell can build before the winds shift onshore.

Saturday winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Expect rain and possibly thunderstorms pushing throughout the day.

Sunday the WNW-NW swell and the W-WNW windswell are set to peak. Most exposed spots will be running shoulder-overhead+ with bigger sets mixing in. Top NW facing breaks will be a few feet overhead and possibly a little bigger at the really exposed spots. Shape won’t be all that great thanks to steady WNW winds…but the size will be up if a little window opens.

Sunday winds shift more to the WNW around 10-15 knots for the morning and gusts nearing 20-knots for the afternoon. Drier conditions overall but not much in the way of clean surf thanks to the new, lamer, wind direction.
