San Diego Surf Forecast - For Thursday - 1/07/10

Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

Since SD is positioned a little further S-SE than the other counties it will take the swell a little longer to push down the coast on Thursday. For the morning we can expect more of the leftover WNW energy and the small SW pulse that continues to stay just above flatline. Most breaks will be in the knee-high range with some rare waist high sets. The standout breaks will be more in the waist-chest high range.

By the afternoon the swell does eventually start to show a little more energy…North County spots won’t change a ton (thanks to shadowing from Catalina and San Clemente islands) but it will bump into the knee-chest high range at the best breaks. South County spots will build into the chest-shoulder high range around sundown…standout breaks will have some head high…maybe even head high+ sets before dark. Definitely expect more energy to arrive overnight and into Friday.

Here are the tides…
