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.
The waves will hold into the weekend...the W-WNW swell will be fading slightly on Saturday but then coming back up a bit on Sunday. Unfortunately it looks like the secondary boost in swell will be running right in front of a new cold front…so we can expect wind and rain to be right on its heels (likely arrive late in evening/night)
Not many changes in the size…North County will continue to be a little bit more shadowed and less consistent than South County but expect rideable, even good-sized surf all throughout the region. Sizewise the average W-WNW facing spots will be in the shoulder-head high range on the sets…with some occasional bigger waves still mixing in at times. The standout WNW-NW facing spots, mostly through South County, will be running consistently shoulder-overhead with waves going a couple of feet overhead on the biggest sets. Points/reefs will continue to have the best shape…most of the pure beach breaks will be pretty walled up unless there is some sort of structure or buried treasure to break up the swell.
Weatherwise look for light and variable winds through early Saturday and only marginal onshore flow for the afternoon. Sunday will start out with light/variable winds as well but S-SSE winds and increasingly cloudy skies will move in through the afternoon. Rain will be coming as well but it looks like heavy stuff will start after sundown.
Here are the tides…
