San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/19/2010
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 down a bit on Friday while the S-SW swell holds (but turns a touch more Southerly). The NPAC energy is aimed a lot more towards the south county spots…so expect larger more consistent surf from La Jolla on southward.
North County breaks will average in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent shoulder high sets showing through the morning. South County spots will have some chest-shoulder high surf on average with some shoulder-head high sets at the standout NW facing/combo breaks.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds here and there. Look for variable onshore winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 3/18/2010
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 combo swell of WNW-NW swell and S-SW swell will continue on Thursday…with the NPAC swell backing off slightly, while the S-SW swell gets a touch bigger.
Average North County breaks will be in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent shoulder high sets showing on the lower tides. South County spots will have some chest-shoulder high surf on average with some shoulder-head high+ sets at the standout NW facing/combo breaks.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds in a few spots. These winds will hold through mid-morning but then turn westerly around lunch and will eventually peak around 10-15+ knots by late afternoon. Look for cooler beach temps, with some overcast skies and possibly even some fog at times.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 3/17/2010
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.
New WNW-NW swell (285-300) will push in on Wednesday…sending some shadowed energy into North County but hitting spots from La Jolla on southward a lot better. There will be a little bit of S-SW swell in the water as well, which will be good for knee-waist high waves at the purely S-facing breaks.
On average North County breaks will be in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent shoulder high+ sets showing on the lower tides. South County spots will have some chest-shoulder high surf on average with some shoulder-head high+ sets at the standout NW facing/combo breaks.
Winds and weather look pretty nice again on Wednesday. Mostly sunny skies with some light/variable to light offshore winds on tap for the morning. Variable onshore winds around the 10-14 knot range will develop through the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/13-3/14/2010
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.
Saturday look for mostly small, tide swamped, surf in the morning. Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some chest high+ sets at the standouts. South County standouts will be a little bigger…more chest-shoulder high+. W-NW winds will get a jump on things pretty early so expect sloppier conditions moving in by midmorning and just getting worse as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday conditions clean up, though we will still have some tide issues in the morning. We will also see some new WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the new windswell and a touch of S-SW swell. North County can expect more consistent chest-shoulder high surf with some inconsistent plus sets at the best combo spots. Down in South County…wave heights will build into the chest-head high range for most of the exposed spots and shoulder-overhead high sets at the standouts. Winds will start off light offshore and then shift variable onshore around 10-13 knots for the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/12/2010
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.
Just some NW windswell leftovers, background WNW-NW swell, and some inconsistent S-SW swell, on tap for Friday. Look for nearly flat conditions for the morning as we shuffle through the high AM tide. Most North County spots will be in the knee-waist high range off of this mix…but a few of the better NW facing breaks will have some waist-chest high sets showing after the tide drops. S facing spots will average around knee-waist high but there will be some inconsistent chest high sets sneaking into those breaks as well.
South County spots can expect waist-chest high surf for most exposed areas. The standout NW facing spots, mostly at the beach breaks, will have some shoulder high surf with some plus sets mixing in on the lower tides.
All areas can expect the surf to drop off in the afternoon as the majority of the energy drains out with the dropping NW windswell.
Look for E-NE winds around 5-10 knots for the morning with the potential for some 10-15 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the NW around 10-15 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.
Conditions clean up but the NW windswell will be on the way down pretty quickly on Thursday. There will be some smaller WNW-NW energy and inconsistent S-SW swell holding in the background…but the windswell will be doing most of the work.
Most North County spots will be in the knee-waist high range off of this mix…but a few of the better NW facing breaks will have some waist-chest high sets showing after the tide drops. The standout NW facing breaks will have some almost shoulder high surf sneaking in at times. The best S facing spots will average around knee-waist high but there will be some inconsistent chest high sets sneaking into those breaks as well.
South County spots will be much bigger, more consistent, but won’t have the best shape since most of the energy will be pretty short-period sloppies. Look for chest-shoulder high surf for most exposed areas. The standout NW facing spots, mostly at the beach breaks, will have some shoulder-head high surf with some overhead sets mixing in.
All areas can expect the surf to drop off in the afternoon as the majority of the energy drains out with the dropping NW windswell.
Look for E-SE winds around 10 knots for the morning with the potential for some 10-15 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the NW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.

Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Wednesday. Sizewise North County spots can expect surf in the chest-shoulder high range for most areas and a few head high sets at a few of the standout breaks.
The more exposed South County breaks will be in the shoulder-head high range with some bigger head high to overhead+ waves pushing into the beach breaks down close to the border.
More freaking wind on tap for Wednesday…WNW-NW winds 10-20 knots for the morning…with some stronger near 25-30 knot gusts setting up by the afternoon.
