San Diego Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/18/2010

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 will continue to back down on Thursday while weak SW energy continues to blip in through the background. Most North County spots can expect surf in the waist-chest high range through the morning and afternoon low tides…maybe a rare shoulder high set now and then at the best combo spots.

South County breaks will be a little bit better…particularly the NW facing breaks. Look for most spots to average around waist-shoulder high. Standout breaks will see some inconsistent chest-head high sets mixing in on the lower tides.

Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light offshore for the morning. NW winds around 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon.

Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/16/2010

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 W-NW swell starts to drop on Tuesday and even the little background SW swell will start to trail off. Still despite the dropping swell we will have plenty of fun waves at the exposed breaks.

North County spots will be a bit shadowed from the WNW-NW’er but enough energy filters through to keep the average spots in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets mixing in during the lower tides. The standout North County spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range with a few plus sets showing before the tide slows things down.

South County breaks will be more in the shoulder-overhead range with sets still coming through a couple of feet overhead (and bigger) at the best standout breaks during the lower tides. times. Expect the most consistency and better shape through the early morning and then choppier/smaller conditions on tap through the afternoon.

Winds look good…mostly light and variable to light offshore for the morning. NW winds around 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon.
