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.
Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/3/2010
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.
New WNW-NW swell fills in and peaks on Wednesday…with a touch of onshore texture filling in along with it. Look for the average WNW-NW facing breaks throughout the county to be in the chest-shoulder high range…with some occasional shoulder high+ sets mixing in on the lower tides. Top NW facing spots will be in shoulder-head high range with overhead sets…and some occasionally bigger waves showing through the lower tides as well. Look for the best shape at the points/reefs exposed to the swell…but expect a bit of texture crumble to push through for the morning and building bump coming through in the afternoon.
Winds will be light NW-NNW for the morning…mostly below 5-8 knots. WNW winds build up to the 10-15 knot range for the afternoon. Cloudy skies and a little drizzle are on tap for most of the day.

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.
