San Diego Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010

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.

Fading but still healthy WNW-NW swell (285-300 but with most of the energy hitting 290-300) will send in plenty of waves on Thursday, and we will even see a small SW swell pulse up in the background but winds aren’t looking all that great.

North County will see surf in the chest-shoulder high range with some shoulder-head high+ sets showing at the best WNW-NW facing breaks.

South County spots will be bigger…running more in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple of feet overhead on the lower tides. The top south county breaks will probably have some bigger sets going a few feet+ overhead through the morning but expect those to get less and less frequent as the swell mix backs down.

Expect the best shape at the points and reefs with some protection from the NW winds. Beach breaks are probably going to be pretty walled.

Winds will be NW around 10-15 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
