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 mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will peak on Thursday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for North County but the SW swell will show ok (but might get lost in the NW energy) throughout most of the region.
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 as the tide drops off a bit.
Winds/Weather not looking great tomorrow but it does look like it might be semi-manageable in the morning. General forecasts are calling for light/variable to a variable/westerly onshore flow around 10-knots in the morning. Hopefully this means that we will see cleaner conditions around dawn and then slowly building WNW-NW winds for midday into the afternoon, but keep in mind that there might be some texture/bump showing at a few areas. Look for NW winds 10-15+ knots on tap by the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

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.
