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.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Wednesday – Backing off a bit more

The Swell
The NW energy (290-300) will start to dip some…but not totally fade out on Wednesday thanks to a mix of more weak NW swell joining the mix as well as a touch of local windswell. A small SW swell (200-220) will begin to fade out as it hangs in the background.



Waves
Look for the average spots hold around waist-chest high on Wednesday…with smaller less consistent surf coming through the North half of the County. Top spots, mostly the better NW facing breaks as well as the best combo spots in the Southern half of the county, will be in the waist-shoulder high range.

Winds
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 10-15 knot range for the afternoon. Patchy fog and overcast skies will be on tap through the first part of the day.
