Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Wednesday. Sizewise North County spots can expect surf in the chest-shoulder high range for most areas and a few head high sets at a few of the standout breaks.
The more exposed South County breaks will be in the shoulder-head high range with some bigger head high to overhead+ waves pushing into the beach breaks down close to the border.
More freaking wind on tap for Wednesday…WNW-NW winds 10-20 knots for the morning…with some stronger near 25-30 knot gusts setting up by the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/8/2010
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.
There will be some increasing NW windswell in the water on Monday…along with some background WNW-NW energy and a touch of SW as well. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like conditions are going to cooperate enough for us to take advantage of it. There may be a very short window right around dawn but I wouldn’t spend much time/gas/hope on finding waves…basically I would only check it if you live a few blocks away. Sizewise North County spots can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
The more exposed South County breaks will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some bigger waves pushing into the beach breaks down close to the border.
Winds will be semi-variable onshore for the morning...possibly as low as 5 knots but still mostly onshore. Look for the winds to increase out of the WNW-NW 10-15 knots by midmorning and then nearing the 20-knot range by late in the day. Basically a hacked up mess by the afternoon. Ahh Good times.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
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.
On Saturday look for a mix of leftover WNW-NW swell, some new steep NW swell (295-300), and some SSW-SW energy (190-220). Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range while the standout combo breaks through the southern part of the county, where the NW energy shows best, will have some chest-shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the really exposed spots. Winds will be light through the morning but build out of the SW around 10-20 knots for late in the afternoon and bring in more rain for the evening.
Sunday the storm will still be lingering and it looks like winds will stay onshore for most of the morning. Expect about the same size as Saturday but with a little bit more W-NW windswell creeping into the well exposed spots. Expect variable onshore winds, mostly out of the S-SW, for early Sunday and then building NW winds 15-20+ knots for late in the afternoon.

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.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Friday – More windswell and more onshore wind
The Swell
Windswell builds in more throughout the day on Friday while a small SW swell (200-220) fills in through the background. Look for increasing wave heights at the better NW facing spots through the South half of the County…and only a slight uptick in size for the North County breaks.
Waves
Look for the average spots hold around knee-waist+ high on Friday. Top NW facing breaks, in South County, will have waist-chest high waves with some rare chest high+ sets in the morning…and some more consistent chest-shoulder high slop by the afternoon. Unfortunately we can expect swampy shape through the dawn patrol as the high tide peaks right before sunrise.
Winds
Mostly light and variable onshore winds and a bunch of areas with minor texture for the morning. Look for some moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-15+ knot range for the afternoon.
