San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/26/2010

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.

Look for NW swell (290-300), local windswell, and a slowly fading SW swell (195-215) to be on tap through the morning. Then a new WNW-NW swell (280-300) and more WNW-NW windswell start to arrive through mid-morning continue to fill in through the rest of the day.

North County will be a bit shadowed from the WNW-NW energy…but there will be enough juice slipping through the islands as well as the SW leftovers still showing at the summer/combo breaks to keep some playful waves breaking. Look for most spots to hold in the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the best exposed spots as the new swell mix fills in (and the tide drops) later in the day.

South County is a lot more exposed to the mix of swells so we can expect pretty consistent surf in the chest-head high range at the average spots through the morning and a few bigger sets showing as the tide drops through mid-morning. Look for the top NW spots to pull in some shoulder-overhead surf as the new WNW-NW swell fills in…likely getting into the overhead+ range by the afternoon tide push.

Winds look ok for the morning…light and variable for most areas…even a little light offshore in a few pockets. The wind shifts around to the WNW-NW around 12-15 knots by the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
