Ugh we have another high tide trying (and succeeding) to bury the surf through the morning…still we have some building WNW-NW swell (280-300) that will be filling in pretty steadily and a few of our breaks are going to be able to work through the tide. Definitely expect the biggest surf to show through South County…with North County being smaller and less consistent thanks to the usual island shadowing.
Average WNW facing spots will have surf in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets showing as the tide drops. The standout NW facing spots, again mostly in South County, will have more consistent head high and overhead surf with sets going a few feet overhead, and bigger at times on the lower tides.
Sunday looks pretty similar to Saturday…but the swell periods will be a little shorter which sort of changes the swells focus at a few spots. Expect another morning tide-swamp…and then gradual improvement in both size and consistency as the tide drops off.
Winds look a little funky on Saturday…sort of light/variable to light onshore for the morning with more texture showing at the really open beaches. WNW-NW winds come onshore around 10-15+ knots for the afternoon. Sunday looks cleaner with light offshore flow for the morning and mostly calm to variable onshore flow holding through most of the day.
Here are the tides…have a great weekend!
