Our blend of WNW-NW swell will back down slowly on Saturday…leaving the sets a bit inconsistent and the surf a little gutless as both the size and swell-periods decrease. S-SW swell (180-200) will continue to hold, showing mostly in North County, but ninja-ing into a few of the South County summer spots as well.
On Saturday most spots will average around waist-chest high on the sets…with some inconsistent bigger waves showing at the really good combo spots. The standout breaks will be more in the waist-shoulder high range with some occasional bigger waves pushing in on the lower tides.
Sunday we will have some more WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the fading energy from Saturday and the backing off S-SW swell. Size will be pretty much the same as Saturday but there will be a bit more punch to the swell…and the bigger sets should be a bit more consistent by Sunday afternoon as the WNW-NW’er fills in a bit more. Combo spots will continue to be the biggest/most-consistent.
Both days look pretty clean during the mornings. Expect light and variable winds for most spots and a few areas with some very light offshore flow. It looks like we will be fighting a bit of a marine layer…maybe even some patchy fog…so don’t be surprised if visibility isn’t always that good. The winds should stay on the light side through the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday…but expect the sea-breeze to develop enough to driving some variable 10-12 knot onshore flow into the more exposed spots.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/23/2010
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.
Mix of fading WNW-NW swell and some background SW swell will be on tap for Tuesday. North County breaks will average in the waist-chest high range…maybe a little bigger at the better combo breaks that can pull in some decent energy from both directions.
Standout NW facing breaks and excellent combo spots in South County will be in the waist-shoulder high range…with a few bigger near head high sets showing through the lower tides. Waves will be inconsistent and tide sensitive so you might have more fun with a “smaller wave” board just so you can power through the sections on the in-betweeners.
Clean conditions on tap for the morning with mostly light offshore winds for the county and a few pockets of light and variable flow at the more protected spots. Look for WNW-NW winds 10-14 knots for the afternoon.

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.

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.

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 be fading on Monday, not totally dropping off, but losing some of the bigger sets for sure. I can’t wait for the high tide to move back a couple more hours…but even with it still stepping on the morning surf there should be plenty of waves sticking around once it drops. Average WNW facing breaks will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some occasional sets nearing head high on the low tides. The standout South County NW spots will see more consistent chest-head high surf with some less consistent overhead sets still mixing in. Expect North County spots to be less consistent and smaller than the other areas.
Winds will be light ESE through the morning, and then light W around 10 knots for the afternoon…the bump doesn’t look too bad through the afternoon so we might see some cleanup through sundown if the wind behaves.
Here are the tides…have a great weekend!

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 1/28/2010
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 off a lot on Thursday while a small S-SSW swell moves into exposed areas. Overall I am still expecting plenty of playful surf…just less size and consistency across the county. Watch that early morning high tide…it is going to shut down a lot of spots.
North County spots will be in the knee-waist high+ range with some less consistent chest-shoulder high sets. Look for a few of the combo breaks, particularly the beach breaks, to be a little punchier and more consistent on the chest-shoulder high sets.
South County spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range pretty steadily throughout the day. Top spots will see some shoulder-head high+ sets on the more favorable tides…particularly at the breaks that have some exposure to the S-SSW swell.
Light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning. Light winds, variable below 10-knots, will be on tap through midafternoon and then may back down a bit around sundown.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Waves for the weekend - 1/09-1/10/10
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.
Solids swell fills in overnight and holds into Saturday morning. A second W-WNW swell follows right behind the initial swell and increases wave heights even more on Sunday.
North County will still be a little bit shadowed by Catalina and San Clemente Islands…but since the direction is a little more westerly it will be able to sneak more energy into the region compared to a steeper NW swell. On Saturday expect most spots to hold around shoulder-head high with some overhead sets mixing in at times. The standout breaks will have some inconsistent sets going a couple of feet overhead. By Sunday the average spots build into the shoulder-overhead range fairly consistently…the top breaks will run in the overhead to well overhead range on the sets…keep in mind that as you get close to the edge of the island shadow that the sets will become less consistent and a touch smaller.
South County will pull in more size…on Saturday the average breaks will be running shoulder high to overhead+ on the sets. The best breaks will be consistently overhead with sets going a few feet overhead. Sunday the surf builds with average spots going head high to a few feet overhead on the sets. Standout breaks will see consistent overhead+ surf with sets hitting several feet overhead to around the double overhead range on the better parts of the tide swing. Expect the best shape at the points and reefs that can handle the extra juice.
Winds look good…mostly light offshore for the mornings and just a light/variable onshore pushing through in the afternoons. Good chance for those winds to lay down around sundown on both days.

San Diego Surf Forecast - For Friday - 1/08/10
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.
New waves for the morning as the W-WNW swell starts to hit…nothing super huge, and probably some consistency problems as our tides drop away from a pre-dawn 5’+ high tide at 3:30am…but still a bit bigger than we had on Thursday. Average spots will in the chest-shoulder high+ range while the standout South County breaks see some shoulder-head high+ sets.
By the afternoon look for the average spots both in North and South Counties to be holding in the chest-head high+ range while the best W-WNW facing breaks see sets going a couple of feet overhead at times…maybe even a few bigger ones by sundown.
Points and reefs are going to have best shape but you might be able to find semi-workable corner at the beach breaks that have something to break up the swell a bit better.
Winds look good…mostly light offshore for the morning and then light/variable to light onshore for the afternoon. Chance for some patchy fog too but most of it will likely hold off the coast until the winds start to shift around in the afternoon.

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.
Since SD is positioned a little further S-SE than the other counties it will take the swell a little longer to push down the coast on Thursday. For the morning we can expect more of the leftover WNW energy and the small SW pulse that continues to stay just above flatline. Most breaks will be in the knee-high range with some rare waist high sets. The standout breaks will be more in the waist-chest high range.
By the afternoon the swell does eventually start to show a little more energy…North County spots won’t change a ton (thanks to shadowing from Catalina and San Clemente islands) but it will bump into the knee-chest high range at the best breaks. South County spots will build into the chest-shoulder high range around sundown…standout breaks will have some head high…maybe even head high+ sets before dark. Definitely expect more energy to arrive overnight and into Friday.

The small, but playful WNW swell mix will continue on Wednesday…even showing a little more energy than it did on Tuesday. Look for the average W-WNW facing spots, mostly in North County, to hold around knee-waist high. The better WNW spots and top NW breaks in South County will be in the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets mixing in at the spots that can handle a little more tide.
Winds will be nice tomorrow…mostly light and variable in the morning with some pockets of offshore winds through the hills and canyons of North County. Look for the winds to shift more WNW around 10-12 knots for the afternoon, but possibly laying down again in the evening.

Looks like a few rideable one sneaking through early in the morning…nothing to get fired up on, but at least some marginally rideable lines showing at the top NW spots. For the average breaks look for knee-waist high surf...with most of North County, even the best breaks, staying about that size as well. As you move further south the better WNW facing breaks will be a more consistent waist high with some chest high sets…standout NW breaks will have a few shoulder high sets sneaking through on the tide push.
By the afternoon the new WNW energy will start to filter through…setting up a bit more consistency at exposed breaks throughout the county...and possibly a touch more size at the top spots by the end of the day.
Winds will be pretty good for the morning…light and variable to a mild offshore flow for most spots. The winds do shift onshore in the afternoon, likely around 10-knots…fortunately this is light enough that if we get lucky the wind could lay down before sundown, so try and keep an eye on it if you can.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Wednesday – NW swell and clean conditions continue
The Swell
NW swell (290-300), some WNW-NW leftovers, and some small SW swell (200-220) will continue to hold on Wednesday...but may lose a little steam by the afternoon. Look for the NW swell to show better in the south half of the county…and the SW’er to show a little better as you get closer to the county line.
Waves
Average spots are going to see surf in the waist high range on Wednesday with a few inconsistent chest high sets mixing in at the better NW combo breaks. The standout NW facing breaks in South County will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some occasional head high sets showing at the spots that can pull in a bit of the SW combo.
Winds
Look for E-NE winds around 10-12 knots for the morning…strongest near the passes and canyons in South County. Winds come onshore out of the WNW around 10-12 knots for the afternoon but may lay down to light/variable by the end of the day.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Thursday – WNW-NW swell peaks
The Swell
WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with most of the energy around 290-300) will peak on Thursday as it mixes with some background SW swell (200-220).
Waves
With the steeper swell angle on the incoming surf it looks like North County could miss out on a lot of the new energy…oh it will have some bigger surf compared to the last couple of days…but the South County breaks are really going to be the ones that see most of the bigger energy. Average spots, mostly north county breaks, will be in the waist-shoulder high range…maybe a few head high sets on the lower tides. The top NW facing breaks in Central and South SD will be in the shoulder-head high+ range pretty consistently with some overhead+ sets mixing in on the lower tide.
Winds
Look for light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning, some patchy fog in spots as well. Variable…mostly onshore…flow builds in through the afternoon but stays around 5-10 knots.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Monday – Clean with a side of morning swampthing
The Swell
We will have a mix of small WNW-NW windswell, some weak SW swell (190-210), and some new, but background, NW swell (295-300) from a little further out in the NPAC.
Waves
The tide continues to be an issue through the early morning but a few of the best high tide breaks may have some rideable peaks as we try to power through the 6’+ high tide. As the tide drops look for the average spots to see surf in the knee-waist high+ range while the standout NW facing combo breaks see some knee-chest high surf with a few chest high+ waves sneaking as we get closer to the low tide.
Winds
Light offshore to light and variable winds on tap through the morning and W-WNW winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Looks clean through the first half of the day.
Light and variable to light offshore winds will be on tap Sunday morning. NW winds 10-15+ knots move in through the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Tuesday – Playful but slowly fading
Our WNW-NW swell (285-300+) and minor SW swell (200-220) will continue to fade on Tuesday. It won’t drop super fast, thanks to some small NW reinforcements, but expect a noticeable drop in size and consistency as we move throughout the day.
Waves
Average spots will be in the waist-chest high range on Tuesday…with a couple of bigger sets mixing into the average NW combo spots through the morning low tide. The top NW facing spots though South/Central County will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent bigger, near head high, sets mixing in on the morning tide push. Swell periods are starting to shorten up as the swell fades…so expect even the top breaks to start to lose some of the “pop” that it had over the last couple of days. Expect smaller and less consistent surf by the afternoon.
Winds
Clean conditions on tap for Tuesday. Mostly light and variable winds with just a few areas of minor texture for the morning. Look for some light/moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-12 knot range for the middle of the day and then lighter winds setting back up as we get close to sundown.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Monday – NW’er fades but still send in some fun surf
Monday our WNW-NW swell (285-300+) and our minor SW swell (200-220) will both back down as we move through the day...but still manage to send in some decent energy, enough that we can get out and have some fun at the well exposed breaks.
Waves
On Monday the average NW facing spots will be in the waist-chest high range with a few inconsistent shoulder high sets. A few of the more shadowed breaks through the North part of the county will be a touch smaller and less consistent. The standout NW facing spots, particularly the ones that can handle a fatter tide, will be in the chest-head high range with a few of the biggest sets hitting a little bigger on the lower tides.
