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.
Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/10/2010
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 mix of WNW-NW energy will be on the way down on Wednesday, and a little increase of NW windswell will move into the background and help keep the wave heights from dropping too far too fast.
Surfwise we are going to see pretty slow shape through the morning…soft and close to shore for many spots, thanks to the high tide that peaks right in the middle of the dawn patrol. Still even with the tide many exposed spots will still see chest-shoulder high surf…and maybe a few rare bigger sets at the standouts. As the tide drops we can still expect surf in the chest-shoulder high+ range with a few bigger waves at the standouts. Surf shape doesn’t look good for the afternoon…lots of onshore bump thanks to building local winds.
Winds and weather don’t look that great on Wednesday. The winds, even though they switch around Tuesday night don’t look like they are going to be super helpful but the shouldn’t be actively bad either. There will be some semi-clean conditions early…but expect periods of rain and onshore texture to pulse through as the storm continues to move through the region. Look for light/variable to variable-onshore flow for the morning. NW winds 10-20 knots will develop through the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/2/2010
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 have a mix of fading WNW-NW swell and some small S-SSW leftovers on tap for Tuesday. Most average spots, including most of North County, will be in the waist high range with chest high sets. The standout NW facing spots, mostly through South County will be more in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent bigger sets showing through the early morning tide push.
New WNW-NW swell starts to filter through the buoys later on Tuesday but doesn’t look like it will show much in the way of new surf before dark…but the afternoon sets might be a little more consistent as the new energy arrives.
Winds look good for the morning…mostly light and variable to light ESE. Winds shift more S-SW onshore around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Chance of light showers developing overnight into Wednesday.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Monday - 2/1/2010
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 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 – Friday – Smaller WNW-NW swell mix…but still fun
The Swell
The mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with more energy in the 290-300 range) and some weak SW swell (200-220) will back down on Friday. Look for the biggest, most consistent surf through the morning and further shrinkage by the afternoon.
Waves
Average WNW-NW facing spots, like most of North County, will be in the waist-chest high range through the morning…with a few chest-shoulder high sets sneaking through before the tide gets too high. Top NW facing spots through South County will have surf in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high…maybe even head high+ sets early in the morning but will become smaller and less consistent as we head towards the afternoon.
Winds
Look for light and variable winds through the morning…even a few pockets of light E-ESE-SE offshore winds in some areas. Increasing clouds and light/moderate NW winds 10-14 knots move in through the afternoon. Chance for some light showers later in the night.
