Lots of swell showing in San Diego on Thursday…though we will need to keep an eye on both the morning tides and the wind since both are looking little squirrely.
Sizewise the large surf will continue…average spots will be solidly head high to a few feet overhead on the sets. The better WNW-NW facing breaks, particularly through the South half of the county, will see some bigger and more consistent surf. Top WNW-NW breaks will be in the well-overhead range consistently thought the day with sets hitting the double overhead+ range as the tide drops. Expect points and reefs to have the best shape…and it might even be worth checking out the really protected spots if you are looking for smaller, more manageable surf.
Wind will be ok/marginal in the morning…mostly light/variable but with some pockets of NW texture at the really exposed breaks. Look for these winds to increase to WNW 10-15 knots by the afternoon. The winds are set to improve by the end of the day…gradually shifting to the N or even NNE by the evening, so keep an eye on conditions…there is a chance for some clean-up around sunset. Hope you guys get a few…stay safe!

San Diego Surf Forecast - For Wednesday - 1/13/10
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.
San Diego will have some new surf on tap for the morning, but it looks like the biggest size won’t hit till later in the day…(the fat morning tide won’t do us any favors either). North County spots will continue to be a bit shadowed by nearshore islands…so expect a little less size and consistency through those areas (which may not be a bad thing as the swell starts to peak).
Once the swell has filled in…look for average spots to run solidly head high to a few feet overhead on the sets. The better WNW-NW facing breaks will see some bigger and more consistent surf, particularly through the south half of the county. Top WNW-NW breaks, the spots that can really focus this swell, will be in the well-overhead range fairly consistently with sets hitting the double overhead+ range…maybe even bigger if the swell really produces. Expect points and reefs to have the best shape…and it might even be worth checking out the really protected spots if you are looking for smaller, more manageable surf.
Look for the average spots, and most of North County, to see surf in the chest-head high range. Standout WNW-NW facing spots will be in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple-feet+ overhead on the bigger sets (and the lower tides). Shapewise the points/reefs will have the best shape…but there may be a few beach breaks that have enough junk (piers/jetties/rocks) to punch a couple of corners in the mostly lined up swell.
Light and variable to slightly offshore/sideshore winds set up clean conditions for the morning. Some scattered drizzle and WNW-NW winds around 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon.
