The mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will hold/slowly fade on Friday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for North County but the SW swell will show ok (but might get lost in the NW energy) throughout most of the region.
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 as the tide drops off a bit. Shape will be pretty swampy through the dawn patrol so try and pick breaks that can handle a little extra water.
Winds will be light and variable through the morning. Look for building S-SE winds to fill in around midday and then continuing to strengthen by the afternoon/evening. It looks like the heavy winds and rain will push in late after midnight and hold through Saturday.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/13-2/14/2010
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 new mix of W-NW swell (275-300) and new background SW swell (200-220) will continue to fill in on Saturday morning…eventually peaking Saturday afternoon and on into Sunday/Monday. At this point it looks like the North County spots will see surf in the chest-head high range with some inconsistent overhead+ sets showing on the lower tides as the swells peak. South County breaks can expect surf more in the shoulder-overhead range at the average spots. The top breaks will see more consistent head high and overhead surf with sets going several feet overhead as the W-NW’er really kicks in. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some bigger sets showing on Sunday after the tide drops off a bit.
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Afternoon winds will turn onshore out of the WNW around 10-13 knots, but may stay manageable at the protected spots.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/9/2010
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.
We will start off with some decent surf on Tuesday despite the overall drop in size from the weekend. Our swell will be a mix of W-NW energy still holding on from the weekend as well as a little reinforcing NW pulse that has pushed into the background. Most exposed spots will see surf in the chest-head high range…a little less consistent through North County. The standout breaks in South San Diego, basically from La Jolla on down, will have shoulder-head high surf with overhead sets (and possibly a little bigger) showing on the lower tides. Look for cleanest conditions early in the day and increasing WNW-NW winds on tap for the afternoon. Points and reefs will have the best shape…if we had any real ones in North County…but good sandbars and the various structures that can break up a swell will be ok fallback places to check.
Light and variable winds early in the morning but with building W-NW winds 10-20+ knots on tap by the afternoon as the next storm front moves through. Look for more rain through the end of the day as well.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/4/2010
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.
The WNW-NW swell backs down on Thursday but we will continue to see plenty of fun waves through most of the County. North County spots will be smaller…mostly chest-shoulder high at the average spots with a few head high sets at the best breaks.
South County spots will be more in the chest-head high range with some overhead sets still mixing in on the lower morning tides and the mid-morning tide push.
Expect to see smaller and less consistent surf as the swell mix fades through the afternoon.
Winds look good with mostly light and variable to light offshore flow early on. W winds 10-15 knots will build onshore in the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Monday - 1/25/10
Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
W-WNW swell fades but holds onto enough size to be fun at the exposed breaks. The average W-WNW facing spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets at times. Lots of North County standouts will be around that size…but expect a little smaller, and less consistent surf throughout North County overall. Standout WNW-NW breaks, mostly from La Jolla southward, will have more shoulder-overhead surf with the occasional set going a couple of feet overhead. Best shape will likely be on the points and reefs but expect the beach breaks to start to improve as the swell drops back a few notches.
Winds look good for the morning but switch onshore out of the W-WNW around 10-15+ knots for the afternoon. Expect increasing cloudiness throughout the day…with a chance at some more rain/showers moving in on Tuesday.

San Diego Surf Forecast - For Wednesday - 1/13/10
Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
San Diego will have some new surf on tap for the morning, but it looks like the biggest size won’t hit till later in the day…(the fat morning tide won’t do us any favors either). North County spots will continue to be a bit shadowed by nearshore islands…so expect a little less size and consistency through those areas (which may not be a bad thing as the swell starts to peak).
Once the swell has filled in…look for average spots to run solidly head high to a few feet overhead on the sets. The better WNW-NW facing breaks will see some bigger and more consistent surf, particularly through the south half of the county. Top WNW-NW breaks, the spots that can really focus this swell, will be in the well-overhead range fairly consistently with sets hitting the double overhead+ range…maybe even bigger if the swell really produces. Expect points and reefs to have the best shape…and it might even be worth checking out the really protected spots if you are looking for smaller, more manageable surf.
Look for the average spots, and most of North County, to see surf in the chest-head high range. Standout WNW-NW facing spots will be in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple-feet+ overhead on the bigger sets (and the lower tides). Shapewise the points/reefs will have the best shape…but there may be a few beach breaks that have enough junk (piers/jetties/rocks) to punch a couple of corners in the mostly lined up swell.
Light and variable to slightly offshore/sideshore winds set up clean conditions for the morning. Some scattered drizzle and WNW-NW winds around 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - For Monday - 1/11/10
Lots of surf on tap for San Diego on Monday. The WNW swells will be backing down but will still manage to serve up some solids sets at times. North County will continue to be in the fun/playful zone…with most spots averaging around shoulder-head high. The top breaks, mostly from La Jolla southward, will see consistent head high and overhead sets with some of the biggest sets topping out in the well-overhead to several feet overhead range. The bigger waves will be inconsistent and a little tide sensitive in the morning but expect things to improve as the tide levels off later in the day. Points and reefs will have the best shape while the beach breaks stay fairly walled unless they have something to break up the swell mix.
Winds look good with light offshore to light/ variable flow on tap for the morning…maybe even moderately offshore near some of the passes and canyons that funnel the wind around.. Look for the winds to increase and shift a little more WNW (onshore) through the afternoon before possibly laying down again near the sunset.
Here are the tides…
