Saturday starts off with mostly leftovers but a WNW-NW swell (280-300) builds in through the afternoon and peaks throughout the day on Sunday. Small, much less consistent, SW energy (200-220) holds in the background.
Waves
Saturday will have mostly leftover energy for the dawn patrol…but still with plenty of rideable waves in the waist-chest high+ range at the average spots and some chest-shoulder high+ sets at the standouts. The new WNW-NW swell will start to move in later in the afternoon but may have a hard time showing through the building onshore bump from the local winds.
The WNW-NW’er peaks on Sunday with consistent chest-shoulder high surf at the average exposed breaks. Top NW facing spots…again mostly in South County, will have shoulder-head high+ surf fairly consistently and sets going a couple of feet overhead at times. Looks like exposed points and reefs will have the best shape but expect smaller less consistent sets in those areas as the tide fills in.
Winds
Saturday will see some eddish flow through the morning…so a sort of W-SW wind around 10-12 knots. Not enough to blow it out…but enough to make it a bit crumbly and sort of funky. Look for building onshore winds out of the W-NW in the 10-15 knot range for the afternoon.
Sunday will have mostly light and variable to light offshore winds and clean conditions. Winds will stay light through the first part of the morning and then build out of the NW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.
