San Diego Surf Forecast – Waves for Wednesday

The Swell
San Diego will see a mix of fading NW swell (290-300), some background SW energy (200-220), and some building NW windswell that pushes in throughout the day. In general look for the biggest waves at the well exposed NW spots in South County…and expect smaller, less consistent waves as you move further north.



Waves
Average spots, with ok exposure to the NW swell (and/or a little of the swell combo), will be in the knee-waist high range…with maybe even a little plus set now and then on the lower tides. The top NW facing spots, particularly if they can handle a higher tide, will be in the waist-chest high range with some chest-high+ sets as the tide drops to more manageable levels. Like I said above…look for the biggest and most consistent (both being relative terms) surf through unshadowed areas of South County.

Winds
Look for light and variable conditions early…but with a touch of onshore flow picking up by midmorning. Generally it will be clean but with a couple of pockets of texture at the really wind exposed areas, particularly around the areas of patchy fog that may roll through. W-NW winds 10-15 knots build in through the afternoon.
